The Greek word anamartetos

Found just once in the New Testament (Jn. 8:7), the Greek adjective “anamartetos” meant “without sin.”

Scribes and Pharisee (Jn. 8:3) brought a woman to Jesus and said this lady had been caught “in the very act” of adultery (Jn. 8:4).  Jesus did some writing on the ground (Jn. 8:6), and then said the person “without sin” (anamartetos) could cast the first stone at this woman.
