Context Readings

The Sermon On The Plain: Trees And Their Fruit

42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take that splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye? Vain pretender! take the beam out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother's eye. 43 "There is no good tree that yields unsound fruit, nor again any unsound tree that yields good fruit. 44 Every tree is known by its own fruit. It is not from thorns that men gather figs, nor from the bramble that they can get a bunch of grapes.
