Sažetak
The Discourse of the mountain does not judge the others and every correction begins from himself.
The Matthew's fragment (7,1-5) of the Discourse on the mountain (5-7) treats Jesus' dispensation of judging (7,1). The judging and measuring turn to man and woman as boomerang (7,2). The exaggerated image of plank stresses the own guilt and the small image of splinter diminish belonging to someone else (7,3-4). The plank, the own big obstacle should be taken and only then the man or woman could go to correct the others (7,5).
The Matthew's fragment about judging and correction joins together in all with Luke, except that this parallel speech on judging, or expressive condemnation (6,37-38.41-42) is interrupted by an inserted piece on blind man to guide another and on surpassing of a disciple against the teacher (6,39-40). Furthermore the Luke's fragment after the prohibition of the condemnation speaks on mercy expressed by dispensation. Luke than speaks here much more extensive from Matthew on benevolence, that is generous donation. Otherwise Mt 7,2b: »And the amount you measure out is the amount you will be given« is read only in Mk 4,24b: »The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given - and more besides«. Here in Mark and in minor measure in Luke is also the word on expansion of donation.
The tradition is nevertheless complex: Matthew's and Luke's words on judging are taken from source Q, the expression of measure has triple tradition (Mt 7,2b; Mk 4,24b; Lk 6,38c) and the expressions on splinter and plank originate again from common source Q (Mt 7,3-5; Lk 6,41-42). Preceding to the Matthew's section on the prohibition of judging and the solicitude of correction creates the command of the love to the enemy (5,34-48).
The here undertaken biblical and theological analysis of the pericope of Mt 7,1-5 starts from the context and treats judging, measuring, the others splinter and the proper plank. As concluding Jesus insists on the radical non-judging of the others. The evangelical exposition guides to inevitable proper correction and only then allows the eventual minor correction in the community of the brothers and sisters in the New Testament.
