The "let him who is without sin, cast the first stone" incident is one of the most well-known lessons of The Bible. A woman, who had been caught in the act of adultery was brought to Jesus Christ by the scribes and Pharisees as a test to see if the Messiah was a liberal in matters of the Law of God. In response to their deceitful query, He didn't condemn the woman, not because He was a liberal, not because He condoned her sin, but because the men who brought the woman to Him were Hypocrites. He was the only person there that day who was free of sin, the only one who had the right to "cast the first stone." He didn't stone her (or her accusers), but instead forgave her and told her to "sin no more." Otherwise, the day is coming when she, if she didn't thereafter repent, won't be stoned, but will be burned - along with the hypocrites who brought her to Him that day, if they didn't thereafter repent of their sin.
John 8:7
At the time, Jesus said this phrase to a group of men who were going to stone a woman for committing adultery. When Jesus asked what they were doing, the men turned to Him telling Him what they were doing and why. Jesus then replied with "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Meaning, every single one of those men are full of sin just like the woman they were going to stone. They had no right to stone a woman for sinning when they sin also.
This quotation appears in the Latin Vulgate Bible as Qui sine peccato est vestrum primus in illam lapidem mittat, literally "Whoever among you is without sin, let him first throw a stone at her".
A few ancient manuscripts have omitted this passage. However, it does appear in the great majority of extant Greek texts.
Translation: Eis qui sine peccato est vestrum primus in illam lapidem mittat. John 8:7b from the Sacred Vulgate.
No ! Break the sentence up and you'll see why."Let him cast the first stone". Good"Let he cast the first stone". Wrong."who is without sin" is a subordinate clause within the sentence (a clause can make a sentence in itself - as it does in this case.).
John 8:7

When Jesus asked what they were doing, the men turned to Him telling Him what they were doing and why. Jesus then replied with "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

The verse "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" can be found in the Gospel of John, not in the Gospel of Luke. It is in John 8:7.
Jesus was writing down the sins of the men who were about to stone her. He then said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
This can be found in John 8:7 ..."So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." (KJV Bible)
This phrase originates from a biblical story in which Jesus challenges a crowd preparing to stone a woman accused of adultery by saying "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." It serves as a reminder that before judging or condemning others, we should reflect on our own flaws and mistakes.
No, it means that we should see first if we are pure enough to punish others for a sin that may be our own Sort of thinking would I do that under that person's circumstances?
John 8:7 But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." From the New International Version
Jn:8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
The verse "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" comes from the Bible, in the Gospel of John, chapter 8, verses 7-11. It is a story where Jesus intervenes when a group of men wanted to stone a woman caught in adultery.
