This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
By the mote in our brother's eye, is to be understood small and little sins, or some supposed sins: by the beam in our own eye, is meant some notorious sin of our own.
Learn, 1. That those who are most censorious of the lesser infirmities of others, are usually most notoriously guilty of far greater failings themselves.
2. That those who desire others should look upon their infirmities with a compassionate eye, must not look upon the failings of others with a censorious eye.
3. That there is no such way to teach us charity in judging others, as to exercise severity in judging ourselves.
