1 But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

3 Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

4 And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

5 Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

6 They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

7 But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

8 And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

9 And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

10 Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.]

1 耶稣往橄榄山去。

2 黎明的时候， 他又到圣殿去， 众人都来到他那里， 他就坐下教导他们。

3 经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来， 叫她站在中间，

4 就对耶稣说： "先生， 这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的。

5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死， 你怎样说呢？"

6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣， 要找把柄来控告他。耶稣却弯下身， 用指头在地上写字。

7 他们不住地问耶稣， 他就挺起身来， 说： "你们中间谁是没有罪的， 他就可以先拿起石头打她。"

8 于是又弯下身在地上写字。

9 他们听了这话， 就从年老的开始， 一个一个地都离开了， 留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人。

10 耶稣挺起身来， 问她： "妇人， 他们在哪里？没有人定你的罪吗？"

11 她说： "主啊！ 没有。"耶稣说： "我也不定你的罪。走吧， 从现在起不要再犯罪了。"
