John 8:6-11

They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let anyone of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"  "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

They were using this question as a trap 
Matthew 22:15  Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words.
Matthew 22:18  But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?"

in order to have a basis for accusing him 
Matthew 12:10b  Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"

Let anyone of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her 
Deuteronomy 17:7  The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.
Ezekiel 16:40  " 'They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and hack you to pieces with their swords.' "
Romans 2:1  You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Romans 2:22  You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

Then neither do I condemn you 
John 3:17  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Go now and leave your life of sin 
John 5:14  Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."
