<P> The Council of Trent, held between 1545 and 1563, declared that the Latin Vulgate (the Gospels of which were produced by Jerome in 383, based on Greek manuscripts which Jerome considered ancient at that time, and which contains the passage) was authentic and authoritative . In terms of simple quantities, 1,495 Greek manuscripts include the pericope adulterae (or part of it, supporting the inclusion of the passage as a whole), and 267 do not include it . Among those 267, however, are some manuscripts which are exceptionally early and which most textual analysts consider the most important . </P> <P> The subject of Jesus' writing on the ground was fairly common in art, especially from the Renaissance onwards, with examples by artists including those by Pieter Bruegel and Rembrandt . There was a medieval tradition, originating in a comment attributed to Ambrose, that the words written were terra terram accusat ("earth accuses earth"; a reference to the end of verse Genesis 3: 19: "for dust you are and to dust you will return"), which is shown in some depictions in art, for example the Codex Egberti . This is very probably a matter of guesswork based on Jeremiah 17: 13 . There have been other speculations about what Jesus wrote . </P> <P> John 7: 53 - 8: 11 in the New Revised Standard Version: </P> <P> Then each of them went home, while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives . Early in the morning he came again to the temple . All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them . The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery . Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women . Now what do you say?" They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him . Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground . When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her ." And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground . When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him . Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, sir ." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you . Go your way, and from now on do not sin again ." </P>
