(κάρφος , something dry), any small dry particle, as of chaff, wood, etc. (Matthew 7:3-5; Luke 6:41-42). Small faults or errors in others, discovered through the magnifying medium of prejudice, are likened by our Lord in these passages to a speck or splinter in the eye, which the censorious are fond of detecting, though guilty of more serious offences themselves, aptly compared to a beam (δοκός) (see Winckler, in Animadvers. Philol. 3:803 sq.). The proverb was a familiar one with-the Hebrews (see Buxtorf, Lex. Rabb. col. 2080). (See EYE).
