1 Ježíš pak odšel na horu Olivetskou.

2 Potom na úsvitě zase přišel do chrámu, a všecken lid sšel se k němu. A on posadiv se, učil je.

3 I přivedli k němu zákoníci a farizeové ženu v cizoložstvu popadenou; a postavivše ji v prostředku,

4 Řekli jemu: Mistře, tato žena jest postižena při skutku, když cizoložila.

5 A v Zákoně Mojžíš přikázal nám takové kamenovati. Ty pak co pravíš?

6 A to řekli, pokoušejíce ho, aby jej mohli obžalovati. Ježíš pak skloniv se dolů, prstem psal na zemi.

7 A když se nepřestávali otazovati jeho, zdvihl se a řekl jim: Kdo jest z vás bez hříchu, nejprv hoď na ni kamenem.

8 A opět schýliv se, psal na zemi.

9 A oni uslyševše to a v svědomích svých obviněni jsouce, jeden po druhém odcházeli, počavše od starších až do posledních. I zůstal tu Ježíš sám, a žena uprostřed stojeci.

10 A pozdvih se Ježíš a žádného neviděv, než ženu, řekl jí: Ženo, kde jsou ti, kteříž na tebe žalovali? Žádný-li tě neodsoudil?

11 Kterážto řekla: Žádný, Pane. I řekl jí Ježíš: Aniž já tebe odsuzuji. Jdiž a nehřeš více.

1 And at dawn he came again to the temple,

2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime -- committing adultery,

5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?

6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;

8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?

11 and she said, No one, Sir; and Jesus said to her, Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.
