Contextual Overview

1 THEN Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 2 And in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming to him; and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in adultery; and they made her to stand in the midst. 4 They said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law of Moses it is commanded that women such as these should be stoned; but what do you say? 6 They said this to tempt him, that they might have a cause to accuse him. While Jesus was bent down, he was writing on the ground. 7 When they were through questioning him, he straightened himself up and said to them, He who is among you without sin, let him first throw a stone at her. 8 And again as he bent down, he wrote on the ground. 9 And when they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the elders; and the man woman was left alone in the midst. 10 When Jesus straightened himself up, he said to the woman, Where are they?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When Jesus had lift himself up,.... From the earth, towards which he stooped, and on which he had been writing:

and saw none but the woman; that is, none of those that had brought her there, and had accused her to him:

he said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers? the Syriac and Arabic versions read only, "where are these?" these men, that brought thee here, and charged thee with this crime:

hath no man condemned thee? has no one offered to do unto thee what I proposed? what, not one that could take up a stone, and cast at thee? was there not one of them free from this sin? could no man take upon him to execute this sentence?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hath no man condemned thee? - Jesus had directed them, if innocent, to cast a stone, thus to condemn her, or to use the power which he gave them to condemn her. No one of them had done that. They had accused her, but they had not proceeded to the act expressive of judicial condemnation.
