Luke 6:41

And why dost thou look at the mote in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam that is in thine own eye?

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

In Context

42How canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me take out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
