MOTE . The word chosen by Wyclif and Tindale, and accepted by all the subsequent versions as the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of Gr. karphos in Matthew 7:3-5 , Luke 6:41-42 bis . The root of karphos is karphô ‘to dry up,’ and it signifies a bit of dried stick, straw, or wool, such as, in the illustration, might be flying about and enter the eye. In its minuteness it is contrasted by our Lord with dokos , the beam that supports ( dechomai ) the roof of a building.
