You're wrong, but i know and respect your intention to relativize the facts. John 8:1 to 58, its all about a dialogue between Jesus Christ and Jews (Pharisees), that these were doubting Jesus, creating provocations and accusations. Like 8:6 "They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him." Pharisees plotting against Jesus, as to whether a woman should be stoned or not. 8:13 "The Pharisees challenged him (Jesus), Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”

Pharisees, self-righteous hyper-religious legalists who saw themselves as superior. They were the fundies of Jesus's day. If it had anything to do with them being Jewish, Jesus and all his disciples would be condemning themselves, because they too are Jewish.
