why do you observe the mote that is in your brother's eye, and not consider the beam that is in your own eye?

with what assurance can you say, brother, let me take that mote out of your eye; when there is such an apparent beam in your own eye?

thou hypocrite, first get rid of the beam in your own eye; and then see how to remove the mote out of thy brother's eye.

How comes it, that you can see the mote in your brother's eye, and not see the beam that is in your own eye?

or how can you say to your brother, brother, let me take out the mote, that is in your eye, when you your self don't discern the beam that is in your own eye? hypocrite, first remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the mote out of your brother's eye.
