Affected Teaching
Jesus made the challenge to the crowd that those who were without sin should cast the first stone at her but one by one they were convicted and had left and when Jesus lifted Himself up, He saw only the woman and not those who brought her to Him. The modern versions leave out that most important part that her accusers had been convicted by their own consciences and had left the scene.
