Luke 6:41

"And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?

Weymouth NT (1912)

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

40There is no disciple who is superior to his teacher; but every one whose instruction is complete will be like his teacher.

42How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.
