1 Mais Jésus s'en alla à la montagne des oliviers.

2 Et à la pointe du jour il vint encore au Temple, et tout le peuple vint à lui, et s'étant assis, il les enseignait.

3 Et les Scribes et les Pharisiens lui amenèrent une femme surprise en adultère; et l'ayant placée au milieu,

4 Ils lui dirent : Maître, cette femme a été surprise sur le fait même commettant adultère.

5 Or Moïse nous a commandé dans la Loi de lapider celles qui sont dans son cas; toi donc qu'en dis-tu?

6 Or ils disaient cela pour l'éprouver, afin qu'ils eussent de quoi l'accuser. Mais Jésus s'étant penché en bas écrivait avec son doigt sur la terre.

7 Et comme ils continuaient à l'interroger, s'étant relevé, il leur dit : que celui de vous qui est sans péché, jette le premier la pierre contre elle.

8 Et s'étant encore baissé, il écrivait sur la terre.

9 Or quand ils eurent entendu cela, étant condamnés par leur conscience, ils sortirent un à un, en commençant depuis les plus anciens jusques aux derniers; de sorte que Jésus demeura seul avec la femme qui était là au milieu.

10 Alors Jésus s'étant relevé, et ne voyant personne que la femme, il lui dit : femme, où sont ceux qui t'accusaient? nul ne t'a-t-il condamnée?

11 Elle dit : nul, Seigneur. Et Jésus lui dit : je ne te condamne pas non plus, va, et ne pèche plus.

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.]
