11/25 Matthew 7:3-5 King James Version (KJV) 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye. Commentary: We are quick to point out other people’s faults, but Jesus warns us that our reactions may be tied to behaviors that reflect our own weakness. In other words, the judgments that we hold of other people’s actions become a convenient diversion from our own inconsistency, and this causes hypocrisy, for we place ourselves above others without realizing that we can be guilty of the very same sin.
