In John 8, Jesus confronts a crowd intent on killing a woman caught in adultery, a law punishable by death in Jewish law. Jesus utters the famous line "Let he who is without sin, throw..." what at her?

Stoning was a first century Jewish punishment that dated back to the time of Moses. The leaders wanted to test Jesus and how much he supported Jewish law, but also how much mercy he could show. Jesus uses the incident to teach the accusers a thing or two about judging others before you examine yourself.
