John 8:2-8 in English

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 the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

⁴ they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

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.

² At dawn, He came back into the temple. All the people were coming to Him, and He sat down and began to teach them.

³ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴ they told Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

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.

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.

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.

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

² Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple courtyard. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.

³ Then men who taught the Jewish laws and some of SYN the Pharisee religious group brought a woman to him. She was seized { They had arranged to seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group that was listening to Jesus.

⁴ Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized { we seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.

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.

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.

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.

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

³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴ they said to Him, “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.

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.

² And at dawn He went again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so sitting down He started to teach them.

⁴ And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.

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