2. And at dawn He came again into the Set-apart Place, and all the people were coming to Him. And having sat down, He was teaching them.
3. And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And having set her in the midst,
4. they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5. “And in the Torah Mosheh commanded us that such should be stoned. What then do You say?”
6. And this they said, trying Him, so that they might accuse Him. But יהושע, bending down, wrote on the ground with the finger, as though He did not hear.
7. But as they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8. And bending down again, He wrote on the ground.
9. And when they heard it, being reproved by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the older ones until the last. And יהושע was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.
10. And יהושע, straightening up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Did no one condemn you?”
