John 8:7

_ _ He that is without sin — not meaning sinless altogether; nor yet, guiltless of a literal breach of the Seventh Commandment; but probably, he whose conscience acquits him of any such sin.

_ _ cast a stone — “the stone,” meaning the first one (Deuteronomy 17:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 8:7

He that is without sin — He that is not guilty: his own conscience being the judge) either of the same sin, or of some nearly resembling it; let him — as a witness, cast the first stone at her.

(2) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
