1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, 4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?" 6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.

But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. 10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord."

Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."

1 Aga Jeesus läks õlimäele.

2 Vara hommikul Ta tuli jälle pühakoita ja kõik rahvas tuli Tema juure; ja Ta istus maha ja õpetas neid.

3 Seal kirjatundjad ja variserid tõid Tema juure naise, kes oli tabatud abielurikkumiselt. Ja nad panid ta keskpaika seisma

4 ning ütlesid Temale: „Õpetaja, see naine tabati abielurikkumiselt!

5 Aga Mooses on käsuõpetuses käskinud meid niisugused kividega surnuks visata. Mis siis Sina ütled?"

6 Seda nad ütlesid Teda kiusates, et neil oleks kaebamist tema peale. - Jeesus kummardas ja kirjutas sõrmega maa peale.

7 Kui nad siis küsides käisid Temale peale, ajas Ta enese sirgu ning ütles neile: „Kes teie seast on patuta, see olgu esimene tema peale kivi viskama!"

8 Ja Ta kummardas jälle ning kirjutas maa peale.

9 Kui nad seda kuulsid ja südametunnistus neid süüdistas, läksid nad välja üksteise järele, vanemad eesotsas. Ja Jeesus jäi sinna üksi ja naine, nagu ta seal seisis.

10 Ent Jeesus ajas Enese sirgu ega näinud kedagi näinud kui naist; ja Ta ütles naisele: „Naine, kus on need sinu süüdistaiad? Ega keegi ole sind hukka mõistnud?"

11 Naine vastas: „Mitte keegi, Issand!" Jeesus ütles: „Ega Minagi sind hukka mõista; mine ja ära tee enam pattu!"
