Luke 6:41

'And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not consider?

Young's Literal Translation

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

40A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

42or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye — thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother's eye.
