Perhaps you have some responsibility to confront and deal with what is troubling you in the world. Jesus confronted the people who were about to stone the adulteress. Perhaps he considered that if he intervened they might turn to throw stones at him instead. Regardless, he reflected to them that they were in judgment of the woman and yet they were not without sin which could bring upon them a stoning. Nobody was stoned that day and Jesus helped the woman understand it was because the judgments were stopped. He also admonished her to sin no more which was a message that she was still subject to the law even though it was grace that let her live another day.-John Morton, DSS
