ⲁ̅
2 and erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune and taught them.
ⲃ̅
3 And the scribes and ye pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry and set hyr in the myddes
ⲅ̅
4 and sayde vnto him: Master this woman was taken in advoutry even as the dede was a doyng.
ⲇ̅
5 Moses in the lawe comaunded vs yt suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore?
ⲉ̅
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.
ⲋ̅
7 And whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him yt is amoge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her.
ⲍ̅
8 And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on ye grounde.
ⲏ̅
9 And assone as they hearde that they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone and the woman stondynge in ye myddes.
ⲑ̅
10 When Iesus had lyfte vp him selfe agayne and sawe no man but the woman he sayde vnto hyr. Woman where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the?
ⲓ̅
11 She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo and synne no moare.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe.
