"The Mote and the Beam" is a phrase derived from a biblical passage in the Gospel of Matthew, specifically Matthew 7:3-5. The verse uses the metaphor of a mote, or a speck, and a beam, or a plank, to illustrate the concept of hypocrisy in judgment. The passage encourages individuals to examine their own faults before criticizing others for their shortcomings.
