**were departed**
Having gently removed His servant's doubt, the Lord bears witness to him before others: He knows when to reprove, and where, and when, to praise.

**sinners** Sin.
*(See Scofield "**")*

**sinner**
i.e. in the sense of unchaste.

**Simon**
See [James 2:14-26](../../../kjv/james/2/14-26). When Jesus would justify the woman in the eyes of Simon, He points to her works, for only through her works could Simon see the proof of her faith; but when He would send the woman away in peace, He points to her faith, not her works. See ; [Titus 2:14](../../../kjv/titus/2/14); [Titus 3:4-8](../../../kjv/titus/3/4-8). His own works can never be to the believer his own ground of assurance, which must rest upon the work of Christ (cf. [Matthew 7:22](../../../kjv/matthew/7/22); [Matthew 7:23](../../../kjv/matthew/7/23)). See "Assurance" ; [Isaiah 32:17](../../../kjv/isaiah/32/17); [Jude 1:1](../../../kjv/jude/1/1).
