John 8:1-8 ▼

1 Iesus went vnto mout Oliuete.

2 And early in the mornyng he came agayne into the temple, and all the people came vnto hym, & he sate downe and taught them.

3 And the scribes and pharisees brought vnto hym a woman taken in adulterie, & when they had set her in the middes,

4 They sayde vnto hym: Maister, this woman was taken in adulterie, euen as the deede was a doyng.

5 Moyses in the lawe commaunded vs that suche shoulde be stoned: But what sayest thou?

6 This they sayde to tempte hym, that they myght accuse hym. But Iesus stowped downe, and with his fynger wrote on the grounde.

7 So, when they continued asking him, he lyft vp hym selfe, & sayde vnto them: Let hym that is among you without sinne, caste the first stone at her.

8 And agayne he stowped downe, and wrote on the grounde.
