Either how canst thou say to thy brother,.... Guilty of the lesser sin;brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye; that is, suffer me to reprove thee for thy sin: the word "brother" is omitted in the Cambridge copy of Beza's, and in the Persic version; nor is it in Matthew; but in the Syriac and Ethiopic versions it is read, "my brother"; pretending great affection and sincerity:when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
