Bible Quote 6:39 He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
6:40 A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

6:41 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
6:42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
6:43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
6:44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
6:45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
6:47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
6:48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
6:49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
