Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother`s eye.
Luke 6:40 The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher.
Luke 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother`s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luke 6:42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother`s eye.
Luke 6:43 For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
Luke 6:44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
The verse centers on "canst", "thou", "brother", "cast", "mote", and "thine". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "canst" and "thou", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 41's "And why beholdest thou the mote that..." into verse 43's "For there is no good tree that...", so "canst" and "thou" belong inside that flow. In Luke context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "canst" and "thou" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
