1

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2

Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3

The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4

and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5

In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6

They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7

When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them,He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8

And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9

When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10

Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her,Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11

“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
