John 8:5-8 in English

⁵ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

⁶ And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁷ But 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 with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁵ In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do You say?”

⁶ They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds to accuse Him. Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as if He didn’t hear.

⁷ When they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and told them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

⁸ He stooped down, again, and wrote on the ground.

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.

⁵ Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

⁶ And this they said, tempting him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁷ But 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 with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁵ Moses commanded us in the laws that he gave us that we should throw stones at such women and kill them. So what do you say we should do?”

⁶ They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.

⁷ While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”

⁸ Then he stooped down and wrote some more on the ground.

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.

⁵ Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”

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.

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 amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

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.

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

⁶ But this they said proving him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷ But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.

⁸ And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.

⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

⁶ And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷ When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

⁸ And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.

⁵ Now Moses, in our law, commanded to cast stones at such. Therefore what do You say?”

⁶ But this they said, testing Him, that they might have an accusation against Him. But Jesus, stooping down, began to write on the ground with His finger, not taking notice.

⁷ And while they were continuing questioning Him, rising up, He said unto them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.”

⁸ And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

⁵ Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”

⁶ They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.

⁷ But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”

⁸ And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.

⁵ Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do you say?”

⁶ They said this to try and trap Jesus so they could condemn him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

⁷ They kept on demanding an answer, so he stood up and told them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned may throw the first stone at her.”

⁸ Then he bent down again and went on writing on the ground.

⁵ Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?

⁶ And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.

⁸ And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.

⁸ And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

⁵ Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such persons; what then dost thou say?

⁶ But this they said to try him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁷ But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast a stone at her.

⁸ And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

⁵ Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?”

⁶ They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.

⁷ However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said, “Let the person amongst you who has never done wrong throw the first stone at her.”

⁸ And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

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 with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁵ Moses in the lawe commaunded vs that suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou ther fore?

⁶ And this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune and with his fynger wrote on the grounde.

⁷ And whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him that is amonge you with out synne cast the fyrst stone at her.

⁸ And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on the grounde.

⁵ Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”

⁶ They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
