John chapter 8, verses 7-9  7.  They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, "All right, stone her.  But let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!"  8.  Then he stopped down again and wrote in the dust.  9.  When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.       When Jesus said that only those who had not sinned should throw the first stone, the leaders slipped away, the eldest to the youngest.  Evidently the older men were more aware of their sins than the younger.  Age and experience temper youthful idealism and self-righteousness.  Whatever your age, take an honest look at your life, recognize your sinful nature, and spend more time looking for ways to help others rather than hurt them.
