Luke 6 — Context

41

And why do you see the straw that is in your brother’s eye, while the log that is in your own eye, you do not consider?

42

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, allow me to remove the straw from your eye,’ while you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, and then will you see clearly, so that you may lead out the straw from your brother’s eye.

43

For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor does an evil tree produce good fruit.

44

For each and every tree is known by its fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape from the bramble bush.

45

A good man, from the good storehouse of his heart, offers what is good. And an evil man, from the evil storehouse, offers what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

46

But why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?

47

Anyone who comes to me, and listens to my words, and does them: I will reveal to you what he is like.
