March, 26, 2023. Gospel John 8:46-59. Passion Sunday.
⁣Which of you shall convict me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Responderunt ergo Judaei, et dixerunt ei : Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et daemonium habes?
49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
Respondit Jesus : Ego daemonium non habeo : sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Ego autem non quaero gloriam meam : est qui quaerat, et judicet.
51 Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
Amen, amen dico vobis : si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in aeternum.
52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
Dixerunt ergo Judaei : Nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et prophetae; et tu dicis : Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in aeternum.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
Numquid tu major es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et prophetae mortui sunt. Quem teipsum facis?
54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
Respondit Jesus : Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est : est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.
et non cognovistis eum : ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem ejus servo.
56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum : vidit, et gavisus est.
57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Dixerunt ergo Judaei ad eum : Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
Dixit eis Jesus : Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum : Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.

March 25, 2023. Gospel Luke 1:26-38. The Annunciation.
⁣And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
In mense autem sexto, missus est angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae, cui nomen Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
ad virginem desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat Joseph, de domo David : et nomen virginis Maria.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit : Ave gratia plena : Dominus tecum : benedicta tu in mulieribus.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
Quae cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
Et ait angelus ei : Ne timeas, Maria : invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
Ecce concipies in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum :
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
hic erit magnus, et Filius Altissimi vocabitur, et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris ejus : et regnabit in domo Jacob in aeternum,
33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
et regni ejus non erit finis.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
Dixit autem Maria ad angelum : Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam virum non cognosco?
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Et respondens angelus dixit ei : Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te, et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi. Ideoque et quod nascetur ex te sanctum, vocabitur Filius Dei.
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua, et ipsa concepit filium in senectute sua : et hic mensis sextus est illi, quae vocatur sterilis :
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
quia non erit impossibile apud Deum omne verbum.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Dixit autem Maria : Ecce ancilla Domini : fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Et discessit ab illa angelus.

March, 23, 2023. Gospel: Luke 7:11-16. Thursday of the fourth week of Lent.
⁣And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
Et factum est : deinceps ibat in civitatem quae vocatur Naim : et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa.
12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
Cum autem appropinquaret portae civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suae : et haec vidua erat : et turba civitatis multa cum illa.
13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi : Noli flere.
14 And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. ( Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait : Adolescens, tibi dico, surge.
15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et coepit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suae.
16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
Accepit autem omnes timor : et magnificabant Deum, dicentes : Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis : et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.

March 22, 2023. Gospel John 9:1-38. Wednesday of the fourth week of Lent.
⁣And Jesus passing by, saw a man, who was blind from his birth:
Et praeteriens Jesus vidit hominem caecum a nativitate :
2 And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind?
et interrogaverunt eum discipuli ejus : Rabbi, quis peccavit, hic, aut parentes ejus, ut caecus nasceretur?
3 Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Respondit Jesus : Neque hic peccavit, neque parentes ejus : sed ut manifestentur opera Dei in illo.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Me oportet operari opera ejus qui misit me, donec dies est : venit nox, quando nemo potest operari :
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
quamdiu sum in mundo, lux sum mundi.
6 When he had said these things, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and spread the clay on his eyes,
Haec cum dixisset, exspuit in terram, et fecit lutum ex sputo, et linivit lutum super oculos ejus,
7 And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore, and washed, and he came seeing.
et dixit ei : Vade, lava in natatoria Siloe ( quod interpretatur Missus). Abiit ergo, et lavit, et venit videns.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Some said: This is he.
Itaque vicini, et qui viderant eum prius quia mendicus erat, dicebant : Nonne hic est qui sedebat, et mendicabat? Alii dicebant : Quia hic est.
9 But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he.
Alii autem : Nequaquam, sed similis est ei. Ille vero dicebat : Quia ego sum.
10 They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened?
Dicebant ergo ei : Quomodo aperti sunt tibi oculi?
11 He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe, and wash. And I went, I washed, and I see.
Respondit : Ille homo qui dicitur Jesus, lutum fecit : et unxit oculos meos, et dixit mihi : Vade ad natatoria Siloe, et lava. Et abii, et lavi, et video.
12 And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not.
Et dixerunt ei : Ubi est ille? Ait : Nescio.
13 They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees.
Adducunt eum ad pharisaeos, qui caecus fuerat.
14 Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Erat autem sabbatum quando lutum fecit Jesus, et aperuit oculos ejus.
15 Again therefore the Pharisees asked him, how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see.
Iterum ergo interrogabant eum pharisaei quomodo vidisset. Ille autem dixit eis : Lutum mihi posuit super oculos, et lavi, et video.
16 Some therefore of the Pharisees said: This man is not of God, who keepeth not the sabbath. But others said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Dicebant ergo ex pharisaeis quidam : Non est hic homo a Deo, qui sabbatum non custodit. Alii autem dicebant : Quomodo potest homo peccator haec signa facere? Et schisma erat inter eos.
17 They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet.
Dicunt ergo caeco iterum : Tu quid dicis de illo qui aperuit oculos tuos? Ille autem dixit : Quia propheta est.
18 The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,
Non crediderunt ergo Judaei de illo, quia caecus fuisset et vidisset, donec vocaverunt parentes ejus, qui viderat :
19 And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see?
et interrogaverunt eos, dicentes : Hic est filius vester, quem vos dicitis quia caecus natus est? quomodo ergo nunc videt?
20 His parents answered them, and said: We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
Responderunt eis parentes ejus, et dixerunt : Scimus quia hic est filius noster, et quia caecus natus est :
21 But how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: ask himself: he is of age, let him speak for himself.
quomodo autem nunc videat, nescimus : aut quis ejus aperuit oculos, nos nescimus; ipsum interrogate : aetatem habet, ipse de se loquatur.
22 These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Haec dixerunt parentes ejus, quoniam timebant Judaeos : jam enim conspiraverunt Judaei, ut si quis eum confiteretur esse Christum, extra synagogam fieret.
23 Therefore did his parents say: He is of age, ask himself.
Propterea parentes ejus dixerunt : Quia aetatem habet, ipsum interrogate.
24 They therefore called the man again that had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.
Vocaverunt ergo rursum hominem qui fuerat caecus, et dixerunt ei : Da gloriam Deo : nos scimus quia hic homo peccator est.
25 He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.
Dixit ergo eis ille : si peccator est, nescio; unum scio, quia caecus cum essem, modo video.
26 They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes?
Dixerunt ergo illi : Quid fecit tibi? quomodo aperuit tibi oculos?
27 He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard: why would you hear it again? will you also become his disciples?
Respondit eis : Dixi vobis jam, et audistis : quod iterum vultis audire? numquid et vos vultis discipuli ejus fieri?
28 They reviled him therefore, and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses.
Maledixerunt ergo ei, et dixerunt : Tu discipulus illius sis : nos autem Moysi discipuli sumus.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is.
Nos scimus quia Moysi locutus est Deus; hunc autem nescimus unde sit.
30 The man answered, and said to them: Why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes.
Respondit ille homo, et dixit eis : In hoc enim mirabile est quia vos nescitis unde sit, et aperuit meos oculos :
31 Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God, and doth his will, him he heareth.
scimus autem quia peccatores Deus non audit : sed si quis Dei cultor est, et voluntatem ejus facit, hunc exaudit.
32 From the beginning of the world it hath not been heard, that any man hath opened the eyes of one born blind.
A saeculo non est auditum quia quis aperuit oculos caeci nati.
33 Unless this man were of God, he could not do any thing.
Nisi esset hic a Deo, non poterat facere quidquam.
34 They answered, and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
Responderunt, et dixerunt ei : In peccatis natus es totus, et tu doces nos? Et ejecerunt eum foras.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God?
Audivit Jesus quia ejecerunt eum foras : et cum invenisset eum, dixit ei : Tu credis in Filium Dei?
36 He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?
Respondit ille, et dixit : Quis est, Domine, ut credam in eum?
37 And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee.
Et dixit ei Jesus : Et vidisti eum, et qui loquitur tecum, ipse est.
38 And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.
At ille ait : Credo, Domine. Et procidens adoravit eum.

March 21, 2023. Gospel John 7:14-31. Tuesday of the fourth week of Lent. St Benedict.
⁣Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
Et mirabantur Judaei, dicentes : Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?
16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit : Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.
17 If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quaerit; qui autem quaerit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.
19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem : et nemo ex vobis facit legem?
20 Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
Quid me quaeritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit : Daemonium habes : quis te quaeret interficere?
21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
Respondit Jesus et dixit eis : Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini :
22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem ( non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi : mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.
25 Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis : Nonne hic est, quem quaerunt interficere?
26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?
27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Sed hunc scimus unde sit : Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens : Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis : et a meipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem
vos nescitis.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ego scio eum : quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.
30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
Quaerebant ergo eum apprehendere : et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venit hora ejus.
31 But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant : Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quae hic facit?

March 20, 2023. Gospel Matt 1:18-21. St. Joseph.
⁣Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.
Christi autem generatio sic erat : cum esset desponsata mater ejus Maria Joseph, antequam convenirent inventa est in utero habens de Spiritu Sancto.
19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.
Joseph autem vir ejus cum esset justus, et nollet eam traducere, voluit occulte dimittere eam.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.
Haec autem eo cogitante, ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei, dicens : Joseph, fili David, noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam : quod enim in ea natum est, de Spiritu Sancto est.
21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.
Pariet autem filium : et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum : ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.

⁣After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.
Post haec abiit Jesus trans mare Galilaeae, quod est Tiberiadis :
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
et sequebatur eum multitudo magna, quia videbant signa quae faciebat super his qui infirmabantur.
3 Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
Subiit ergo in montem Jesus et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis.
4 Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
Erat autem proximum Pascha dies festus Judaeorum.
5 When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Jesus, et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philippum : Unde ememus panes, ut manducent hi?
6 And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.
Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum : ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus.
7 Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
Respondit ei Philippus : Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:
Dicit ei unus ex discipulis ejus, Andreas, frater Simonis Petri :
9 There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?
Est puer unus hic qui habet quinque panes hordeaceos et duos pisces : sed haec quid sunt inter tantos?
10 Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
Dixit ergo Jesus : Facite homines discumbere. Erat autem foenum multum in loco. Discumberunt ergo viri, numero quasi quinque millia.
11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.
Accepit ergo Jesus panes : et cum gratias egisset, distribuit discumbentibus : similiter et ex piscibus quantum volebant.
12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
Ut autem impleti sunt, dixit discipulis suis : Colligite quae superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant.
13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
Collegerunt ergo, et impleverunt duodecim cophinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus hordeaceis, quae superfuerunt his qui manducaverant.
14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.
Illi ergo homines cum vidissent quod Jesus fecerat signum, dicebant : Quia hic est vere propheta, qui venturus est in mundum.
15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
Jesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi essent ut raperent eum, et facerent eum regem, fugit iterum in montem ipse solus.

March 18, 2023. Gospel John 8:1-11. Saturday of the third week of Lent.
⁣And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti :
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.
et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
Adducunt autem scribae et pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam : et statuerunt eam in medio,
4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
et dixerunt ei : Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
7 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.
Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis : Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
9 But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus : et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei : Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
11 Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
Quae dixit : Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus : Nec ego te condemnabo : vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
