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 {mas Jesus foi para o monte das Oliveiras.}

2 {De madrugada voltou ao templo, e todo o povo ia ter com ele; e Jesus, sentando-se, o ensinava.}

3 {Os escribas e os fariseus trouxeram uma mulher apanhada em adultério, puseram-na no meio de todos}

4 {e disseram a Jesus: Mestre, esta mulher tem sido apanhada em flagrante adultério.}

5 {Moisés nos ordenou na Lei que tais mulheres sejam apedrejadas; tu, pois, que dizes?}

6 {Isto diziam, experimentando-o, para ter de que o acusar. Jesus, porém, abaixando-se, começou a escrever no chão com o dedo.}

7 {Como eles insistissem na pergunta, levantou-se e disse-lhes: Aquele que dentre vós está sem pecado, seja o primeiro que lhe atire uma pedra.}

8 {Tornando a abaixar-se, continuou a escrever no chão.}

9 {Mas ouvindo esta resposta, foram saindo um a um, começando pelos mais velhos, ficando só Jesus e a mulher no lugar em que estava.}

10 {Então levantando-se Jesus, perguntou-lhe: Mulher, onde estão eles? ninguém te condenou?}

11 {Respondeu ela: Ninguém, Senhor. Disse Jesus: Nem eu tampouco te condeno; vai, e não peques mais.}
