1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, 4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?" 6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.

But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. 10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord."

Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."

1 耶稣往橄榄山去。

2 黎明的时候， 他又到圣殿去， 众人都来到他那里， 他就坐下教导他们。

3 经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来， 叫她站在中间，

4 就对耶稣说： "先生， 这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的。

5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死， 你怎样说呢？"

6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣， 要找把柄来控告他。耶稣却弯下身， 用指头在地上写字。

7 他们不住地问耶稣， 他就挺起身来， 说： "你们中间谁是没有罪的， 他就可以先拿起石头打她。"

8 于是又弯下身在地上写字。

9 他们听了这话， 就从年老的开始， 一个一个地都离开了， 留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人。

10 耶稣挺起身来， 问她： "妇人， 他们在哪里？没有人定你的罪吗？"

11 她说： "主啊！ 没有。"耶稣说： "我也不定你的罪。走吧， 从现在起不要再犯罪了。"
