John:8:4-11

*
tempting ,
they say to him ,
Teacher ,
we found this woman committing adultery ,
in the act .
*
Now in the law ,
Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned .
What therefore do thou say about her ?
*
But they said this ,
trying him ,
so that they might have an accusation against him .
But Jesus having stooped down ,
wrote on the ground with his finger ,
not pretending .
*
And when they continued asking him ,
after standing erect ,
he said to them ,
Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her .
*
And again having stooped down ,
he wrote on the ground .
*
And they ,
having heard and being convicted by their conscience ,
went out one by one ,
having begun from the elder until the last .
And Jesus was left behind alone ,
and the woman being in the midst .
*
And Jesus ,
after standing erect ,
and having seen no man but the woman ,
he said to her ,
Woman ,
where are those accusers of thee ?
Did no man condemn thee ?
*
And she said ,
No man ,
Lord .
And Jesus said to her ,
Neither do I condemn thee .
Go ,
and henceforth sin no more .
