The woman taken in adultery

Saint John - Chapter 8

Stooping down, He wrote on the ground. J-J Tissot

[1] Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti :
And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.

[2] et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.

[3] Adducunt autem scribae et pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam : et statuerunt eam in medio,
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,

[4] et dixerunt ei : Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.

[5] In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

[6] Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

[7] Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis : Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
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] Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.

[9] Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus : et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.

[10] Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei : Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?

[11] Quae dixit : Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus : Nec ego te condemnabo : vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
