1. AND Jesus went unto mount Olivet.

2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.

3. And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,

4. And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.

5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

6. And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

7. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
