Luke 6:39-45
Jesus also told them a parable: ‘Can a blind person guide a
blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above the
teacher, but everyone who is fully qualified will be like the teacher. Why do
you see the speck in your neighbour’s eye, but do not notice the log in your
own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbour, “Friend, let me take out the
speck in your eye”, when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You
hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see
clearly to take the speck out of your neighbour’s eye. No good tree bears bad
fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its
own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a
bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces
good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of
the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.’
Reflection
Do I always see the speck in others’ eyes?
Does my action match my words?
