John 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:10

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?

John 8:10 In-Context

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself , and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said , No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go , and sin no more.

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying , I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
