English Original
In the town square, a hostile crowd gathered, intent on stoning a prostitute to death. Jesus stepped forward from the crowd, raised his arms, and declared, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!"
The crowd fell silent in contrition, for none could claim to be sinless. Then, a frail, elderly woman hobbled forward, picked up a sizable rock, and struck the prostitute squarely between the eyes.
Jesus stood with his hands on his hips and said, "Sometimes, Mother, you really try my patience."

镇广场上,一群充满敌意的人聚集起来,意图用石头打死一名妓女。耶稣从人群中走出,举起双臂宣告道:“你们中间谁是没有罪的,谁就可以先拿石头打她!”
人群因愧疚而沉默下来,因为无人敢自称无罪。接着,一位瘦弱的老妇人蹒跚上前,捡起一块不小的石头,正中妓女的眉心。
耶稣双手叉腰站着,说道:“母亲,有时候您真让我无可奈何。”
