Commentators and other scholars tell us that the earliest manuscripts of John’s gospel do not include the story of the adulterous woman. (John 8:1-11) It does not appear in any Greek manuscript until the fifth century and no Greek Church “Father,”prior to the 9th century, made any comments on the story of the “adulterous woman”. Even then, the comments state that the accurate manuscripts do not contain this story. When it was inserted in later manuscripts, the story of the “adulterous woman” appeared in different places in scripture. The story seems to be part of an oral tradition that was circulated in the Western church, eventually finding its way into the Latin Vulgate, and from there into later Greek manuscripts.
In respect to this, Jesus wrote in the dirt which He never did in any other circumstance when the Pharisees presented questions attempting to corner our Savior into a metaphorical box. Jesus is the Word of God, and Jesus always talked in every other case recorded in scripture. Further, the story of the woman caught in adultery involves no male who was adulterous according to the law that the Pharisees seemed to abide by in works only. What Jesus did in that story doesn't compare with His Father's previous instructions, concerning adultery in any way. In short the story doesn't have any righteous recompense of reward for the actions. At least, (according to His Father's instruction that has never changed) the question “where's the man?,” should have been presented according to the demeanor of Christ Jesus recorded in every other circumstance throughout the Gospels.
