You hypocrite The term "hypocrite" originates from the Greek word "hypokritēs," which was used to describe an actor or someone who wears a mask. In the context of this verse, Jesus is addressing the duplicity of those who judge others while ignoring their own faults. Historically, the Pharisees were often criticized by Jesus for their outward displays of piety that masked inner corruption. This admonition serves as a call for self-examination and authenticity in one's spiritual life, urging believers to align their inner character with their outward actions. first take the plank out of your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye Then shalt thou see clearly.--Here the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount rises far above the level of the maxims which, to a certain extent, it resembles. It gives a new motive to the work of self-scrutiny and self-reformation. While we are blind with self-deceit we are but bunglers in the work of dealing with the faults of others. When we have wrestled with and overcome our own besetting sins, then, and not till then, shall we be able, with the insight and tact which the work demands, to help others to overcome theirs. Verse 5. - Parallel passage: Luke 6:42b. Thou hypocrite (Matthew 6:2, note). The thought here is of the personation of a part (a man free from impediment in his vision)which does not belong to you. First cast out the beam out of thine own eye, In ver. 3 the order of the words lays the emphasis on "thine;" here, on the eye. It is in thine eye, of all places, that the beam now is. And then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Surely a promise as well as a statement. See clearly (διαβλέψεις, δια- discriminatingly); as in the right text of Mark 8:25, itself after the recovery of full power of sight. See clearly. Not the mote (ver. 3), but to cast out the mote. The verse seems to imply that if the spirit of censoriousness be absent, it will be possible for us to remove "motes" from the eyes of our brothers. Thus the passage as a whole does not say that we never ought to try to remove such "motes," but that this is monstrous and almost impossible so long as we ourselves have a fault of so much magnitude as censoriousness.Parallel Commentaries ...
