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.
And they which heard it - or, 'But they, when they heard it' х hoi (G3588) de (G1161), akousantes (G191)],
Being convicted by their [own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, х apo (G575) toon (G3588) presbuteroon (G4245)] - rather, 'at the elders;' in the official sense, and not the seniors in age.
Even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone - that is, without one of her accusers remaining; because it is added, "and the woman standing in the midst" - in the midst, that is, of the remaining audience. While the trap failed to catch Him for whom it was laid, it caught those who laid it. Stunned by the unexpected home-thrust, they immediately made off-which makes the impudence of those impure hypocrites in dragging such a case before the public eye the more disgusting.
