常年期第八主日
那时候,耶稣对门徒讲了这个比喻:“瞎子岂能给瞎子带路?不是两人都跌在坑里吗?
“没有徒弟胜过师父;凡受过完备教育的,仅相似自己的师父而已。
“怎么,你看见你兄弟眼中的木屑,而不理会你眼中的大梁呢?你怎能对你的兄弟说:兄弟,让我取出你眼中的木屑吧!而你竟看不见自己眼中的大梁呢?假善人啊!先取出你眼中的大梁,然后才看得清楚,以便取出你兄弟眼中的木屑。
“没有好树结坏果子的,也没有坏树结好果子的。每一棵树的好坏,凭它的果子,就可认出来。人从荆棘上,收不到无花果;从蒺藤上,也摘不到葡萄。善人从自己心中的善库,发出善来;恶人从恶库中,发出恶来;因为心里充满什么,口里就说什么。”

And he told them a parable, “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit? No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye. “A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles. A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
