Contextual Overview
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues, 2 And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them. 3 Then the Scribes, & the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes, 4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte. 5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore? 6 And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, & with his finger wrote on the groud. 7 And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her. 8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground. 9 And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids. 10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They say unto him, Master,.... They applied to him in a handsome and respectful manner, the better to cover their ill design:
this woman was taken in adultery; by two persons at least, who could be witnesses of it; otherwise the accusation was not legal; see
Deuteronomy 19:15; though in the case of a wife suspected of adultery, they admitted a single witness as valid f:
in the very act; or "in the theft itself", for adultery is a theft; it is an unlawful use of another's property; see this word used in the same sense, in Heliodor, l. 1. sect. 11.
f Maimon. Hilchot Eduth, c. 5. sect. 2.
