Luke 6:41

But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?

1902 William Baxter Godbey NT

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

40The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one having been made perfect shall be as his teacher.

42Or how are you able to say to your brother; Brother, permit me, I will cast out the mote which is in thine eye, yourself not seeing the beam which is in your own eye? O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote which is in the eye of your brother.
