The close of the former verse told us, that though the scribes and Pharisees were gone, yet the woman was left in the midst, expecting Christ's sentence. Christ knew well enough that the scribes and Pharisees, this poor woman's accusers, were gone; but yet he acts warily, and calls for her accusers, and asks if no man had condemned her? Thereby intimating, that the law against adultery was a just law; and if the crime were proved against her, she deserved to die; but she must first be convicted, and condemned. He asks her, If she were condemned? For then he had nothing to say.
