Why
do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice
the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother,
‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you
yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite,
first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to
take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.
