Luke 6 — Context

36

Be full of pity, even as your Father is full of pity.

37

Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

38

Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

39

And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, Is it possible for one blind man to be guide to another? will they not go falling together into a hole?

40

The disciple is not greater than his master, but everyone whose learning is complete will be like his master.

41

And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye?

42

How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.
