I think it was added later...
The story of the woman caught in adultery and saved by Jesus is not found in the oldest manuscripts of The Bible. It is believed to have been added to the Gospel of John at a later date. Many scholars view it as a powerful story that captures the essence of Jesus' teachings on forgiveness and mercy, regardless of its originality.

The authenticity of the Bible is a subject of debate among scholars and theologians. While many consider it a sacred text with historical and spiritual value, others question its historical accuracy due to the various translations and interpretations it has undergone over time. Ultimately, whether one considers the Bible authentic depends on their beliefs and perspective.
Yes
A few ancient manuscripts have omitted this passage. However, it does appear in the great majority of extant Greek texts.
In the most widely received editions of the New Testament, John 8.11 tells the story of how Jesus saved a woman caught in adultery from being stoned . This passage has no fixed place in the ancient manuscripts. Some place it after Luke 21.38, others after John 7.36 or 7.52, or 21.24. In any case, the story does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century.
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.
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.

Nope. The Septuigent (The first five books of the Hebrew Bible) are the oldest Bible manuscripts. "Let him without sin..." is from the New Testament and was written more recently than the Old Testament Books.
The Bible text was the subject of a process of evolution over a period of many centuries, and the story of the woman caught in adultery is an example of this process. It was not originally part of the Gospel of John (7:53-8:11) and is completely absent from the early manuscripts of John in Greek. There are no comments on it by the early Greek church writers on John in its first thousand years. In a few late copies where it actually appears, it is sometimes comes after 7:36 instead of where we now find it, or at the end of John, or even inserted into Luke (after Luke 21:38).
