Jesus Quoted This Proverb: “Can a blind man guide a blind man?” Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice does not lecture the master. The point is to be careful who we follow as our teacher. It is easy to see a smudge on our neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on our own. It is who we are, not what we say and do, that counts. Our true being brims over into true words and deeds.
