1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
1 Jesus, porém, foi para o Monte das Oliveiras.
2 E pela manhã cedo tornou para o templo, e todo o povo vinha ter com ele, e, assentando-se, os ensinava.
3 E os escribas e fariseus trouxeram-lhe uma mulher apanhada em adultério;
4 E, pondo-a no meio, disseram-lhe: Mestre, esta mulher foi apanhada, no próprio ato, adulterando.
5 E na lei nos mandou Moisés que as tais sejam apedrejadas. Tu, pois, que dizes?
6 Isto diziam eles, tentando-o, para que tivessem de que o acusar. Mas Jesus, inclinando-se, escrevia com o dedo na terra.
7 E, como insistissem, perguntando-lhe, endireitou-se, e disse-lhes: Aquele que de entre vós está sem pecado seja o primeiro que atire pedra contra ela.
8 E, tornando a inclinar-se, escrevia na terra.
9 Quando ouviram isto, redargüidos da consciência, saíram um a um, a começar pelos mais velhos até aos últimos; ficou só Jesus e a mulher que estava no meio.
10 E, endireitando-se Jesus, e não vendo ninguém mais do que a mulher, disse-lhe: Mulher, onde estão aqueles teus acusadores? Ninguém te condenou?
11 E ela disse: Ninguém, Senhor. E disse-lhe Jesus: Nem eu também te condeno; vai-te, e não peques mais.
