do I need capacitor to use adc??

From this (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/b/blog/posts/measuring-lithium-battery-voltage-with-nrf51), there is capacitor connected to adc input pin. 

But is it necessary to have the capacitor? what is there is no cap connected to adc input pin? is it possible to measure voltage? 

Thank you.
