Jerome: " As though He had said, Ye bring complaints against my disciples, that on the sabbath they rub ears of corn in their hands, under stress of hunger, and ye yourselves profane the sabbath, slaying victims in the temple, killing bulls, burning holocausts on piles of wood; also, on the testimony of another Gospel (John 7:23.), ye circumcise infants on the sabbath; so that in keeping one ...
The Mote and the Beam is a parable of Jesus given in the Sermon on the Mount [1] in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 1 to 5. The discourse is fairly brief, and begins by warning his followers of the dangers of judging others, stating that they too would be judged by the same standard.

As Peter states (2 Peter 1:4) for by grace “we are made partakers of the divine nature,” as S. Peter says (2 Pet. 1:4). [1] Cornelius Jansen notes that with respect to God, both are equally easy and miraculously divine. In this particular act Jesus fulfils the words of John the Baptist, "his is he that taketh away the sins of the world." [2]
