John 8:1-13

¹But Jesus went into the mount of Olivet. (And then Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.)

²And early again (the next morning) he came into the temple; and all the people came to him; and he sat, and taught them.

³And (the) scribes and (the) Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and they setted her in the middle (or and they put her in the midst of everyone),

⁴and said to him, Master, this woman is now taken in adultery. (and said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery.)

⁵And in the law Moses commanded us to stone such; therefore what sayest thou?

⁶And they said this thing tempting (or to test) him, (so) that they might accuse him. And Jesus bowed himself down, and wrote with his finger in the earth (or and wrote on the ground with his finger).

⁷And when they abided or continued asking him, he raised himself (up), and said to them, He of you that is without sin, first cast a stone into her, (or He of you who is without sin, throw the first stone at her).

⁸And again he bowed down himself, and wrote in the earth (or and wrote on the ground).

⁹And they hearing these things, went away one after another, and they began from the elder men; and Jesus dwelt alone, and the woman standing in the middle.

¹⁰And Jesus raised himself (up), and said to her, Woman, where be they that accused thee? no man hath condemned thee.

¹¹She said, No man, Lord. Jesus said to her, Neither I shall condemn thee; go thou, and now afterward do not thou (do) sin (any) more, or and now afterward do not thou sin, (or and hereafter, do not do any more sin).

¹²Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said, I am the light of the world; he that (pur)sueth me, walketh not in (the) darknesses, (or he who followeth me, walketh not in the darkness), but shall have the light of life.

¹³Therefore the Pharisees said, Thou bearest witnessing of thyself; thy witnessing is not true. (And so the Pharisees said, Thou testifiest about thyself; thy testimony is not true.)
