NgokukaJohane 8:3-11

Kepha ababhali nabaFarisi baletha kuye owesifazane ebanjwe ephinga; sebemmise phakathi kwabo, bathi kuye: “Mfundisi, lo wesifazane ubanjwe esoqotsheni lokuphinga. Emthethweni uMose wasiyala ngabanje ukuba bakhandwe ngamatshe. Pho, wena uthini na?” Bakusho lokho bemlinga, ukuze babe nokummangalela. Kepha uJesu wakhothama, waloba ngomunwe emhlabathini. Wathi besambuza njalo, walulama, wathi kubo: “Ongenasono phakathi kwenu kaqale amphonse ngetshe.” Waphinda wakhothama, waloba emhlabathini. Bathi ukuzwa lokho, belahlwa yizinhliziyo zabo baphuma ngabanye, beqalela kwabadala kwaze kwaba ngabokugcina, uJesu wasala yedwa; nowesifazane wayemi khona. UJesu wayeselulama; engaboni muntu ngaphandle kowesifazane wathi kuye: “Sifazane, baphi labo bamangaleli bakho na? Akakho okulahlayo na?” Wayesethi: “Akakho, Nkosi.” Wathi-ke uJesu kuye: “Nami angikulahli; hamba, ungabe usona.”
