1 But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;
4 And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.
5 Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?
6 They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.
7 But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.
8 And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.
9 And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.
10 Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]
1 Men Jesus gikk til Oljeberget.
2 Og tidlig om morgenen kom han atter til templet, og alt folket kom til ham, og han satte sig og lærte dem.
3 Da kom de skriftlærde og fariseerne med en kvinne som var grepet i hor, og de stilte henne frem for ham
4 og sa til ham: Mester! denne kvinne er grepet på fersk gjerning i hor.
5 I loven har Moses foreskrevet oss at slike kvinner skal stenes; hvad sier nu du?
6 Dette sa de for å friste ham, så de kunde få klagemål imot ham. Men Jesus bukket sig ned og skrev med fingeren på jorden.
7 Og da de blev ved å spørre, rettet han sig op og sa: Den av eder som er uten synd, han kaste den første sten på henne!
8 Og han bukket sig atter ned og skrev på jorden.
9 Men da de hørte det, gikk de ut, den ene efter den annen, de eldste først; og Jesus blev alene tilbake med kvinnen som stod der.
10 Da rettet Jesus sig op og sa til henne: Kvinne! hvor er de? Har ingen fordømt dig?
11 Hun sa: Nei, Herre! ingen. Da sa Jesus: Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gå bort, og synd ikke mere!
