“You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

Matthew 7:5

Save as image

Study note

Jesus has warned his listeners not to judge harshly, since the standard they use will be applied to them. He gives a vivid, humorous image about a person with a plank in their own eye.
