Best Answer

No, the earliest surviving manuscripts of the Gospel of John lack the whole passage involving the woman taken in adultery. The first manuscript to contain it is the Codex Bezae, which dates from the late 4th or early 5th century. There are earlier references to the story, but none placing it in John's Gospel.

S the story of the woman caught in adultery Let him without sin cast the first stone in the oldest manuscripts?

A few ancient manuscripts have omitted this passage. However, it does appear in the great majority of extant Greek texts.


When did the passage about the adultress and 'he who is without sin cast the first stone' first appear in manuscript form?

AnswerThe oldest surviving Greek manuscript to contain the passage about the woman caught in adultery is a Latin/Greek document written in the late fourth or early fifth century. However, Papias, early in the second century, referred to a story of Jesus and a woman "accused of many sins" as being found in the Gospel of the Hebrews, and this may refer to an early version of this passage. Most scholars believe that the passage was not in the earliest manuscripts of John's Gospel, but there is some evidence that it occurred in some manuscripts of John's Gospel, in its present position, by the fourth century.

What does let he who is without sin cast the first stone mean?

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.

Which is better grammatically 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone'?

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.).
