Berean Standard Bible
“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?”
Jesus grew up in a carpenter's household, so wood images came naturally to him. Here he paints a deliberately comic scene of a person with a large beam in their eye trying to remove a tiny speck from a neighbor's eye.
