Translation:

But Jesus went to the olive mountain.
2. And early in the morning he went again to the temple, and God came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3. But the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman that was taken in adultery, and put her in their midst.
4. And spoke to him: Master, this woman was taken in the act of adultery.
5. But Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned. What do you say?
6. But they spoke this in order to tempt him, so that they would have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down (John 8) [text breaks off]
