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.
