This was said to the woman caught in adultery, John 8: 3-4. In Jewish law adultery was considered punishable by death, but under Roman occupation the Jews were not allowed to execute anyone (hence the necessary trial by pilate when jesus was crucified). This woman, however, was caught in the act of adultery and sentenced, illegally, to be stoned. When Jesus was asked whether or not he agreed that she should be executed (by the Jewish authorities, out to trap him) he declared 'let he who is without sin, cast the first stone'. One by one the lynch mob retreated, realising that they too were sinners. When they had left Jesus asked the woman where those who condemned her had gone. When she saw none left, Jesus stated, "and neither do I condemn you - go and sin no more". In this story it is clear that Jesus did not condone the adultery but expected the woman to turn away from her sin as she had been given another chance. Her repentance was expected, just as we are expected to repent when we do wrong. Note that in Hollywood films (movies to our US friends!) they often identify the adulterous woman as Mary Magdalene but there is no evidence whatsoever that this was the case.

What do you mean when you say that jesus is the messiah?
'Messiah' has different meanings for different people. The word is used only two times in the Bible; in Daniel 9.25 and 26. When I say that 'Jesus is the Messiah', I mean that he is 'the Holy One of God' the 'Lamb of God', and that he takes away my sin and the sin of the world and gives us eternal life. But the Jews in Jesus' time were not looking for such a Messiah, but rather a new Jewish king that could free them from the Romans. Jesus' own declaration of who he is, was told in detail to the two disciples on the Emmaus road in Luke 24.25 to 27. And it is this Jesus of whom the Holy Spirit teaches us, and he is the true Messiah.
