1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 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 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 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 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 stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 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 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 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

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。"
