Contextual Overview

1And at dawn He came again to the Mount of Olives, 2and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them; 3and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, 4they say to Him, "Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime—committing adultery, 5and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?" 6And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground, 7and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, "The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her"; 8and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground, 9and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, "Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?"

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.
