I Love a Good Quote

“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
I'm not very religious, but whenever someone corrects me and calls me a bad person, I think of this. Which actually makes us all hypocrites, don't ya think?
Note that there's a difference between a constructive critique and correcting people to comply with social norms. Just because something is expected, it doesn't justify someone's behaviour.

To see ones own failings and hold back on judgment of another is wise.

The thing is He is the only one present,according to Christian beliefs, that could have condemend her, but he chooses mercy instead.

If you read the New Testament often you start to realize He condemend the religious leaders much more than "sinners"

@SW-User Because they were abusing their power, thinking they're better than "sinners" while sinners were aware they sin and they asked for forgiveness?

@Melpomene Yes, exactly.
