Who said 'Judge not that ye be not judged'?

Answer 1

Jesus Christ (the Son of God) said--"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." (Matthew 7:1-5) This was stated by Jesus at Matthew 7:1 & Luke 6:37. In the Matthew passage, Christ explains this statement as a matter of not being able to judge clearly or with the right frame of mind & heart, if one has critical problems worse than the one whom he judges. Christ says that this is a hypocrite's way of judging. He says to clean up your own life before attempting to correct your brother's. Yet Christ is not prohibiting judgment, but warning against hypocritical criticism. A few verses later, He says, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." v.15. One has to discern & use judgment to comprehend & be on guard against false teachers.

Jesus Christ said this, and it means, Do not judge others before you judge yourself and turn away from your sins first. Hence the saying, "Take the plank out of your own eye, before you take the twig from another's." == The Rabbi Hillel (Paul was a student of Gamalieal whose grandfather was Hillel) said " Judge not thy neighbour until thou art in his place" (cf. Matt. vii. I)" Most of the teachings of the Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) can also be found in the teachings of Hillel. God is eternal, the Truth of God is also eternal.
