Karphos (The Mote / Speck)

EN — Transliteration: Kárphos

Karphos (κάρφος) designates a small piece of dry wood, a twig, a speck of chaff, or a tiny straw. In Jesus' teaching, it represents the minor faults or flaws of a brother, often magnified by the look of a censor.

📖 Réf. : Mt 7:3-5 | Lk 6:41-42

Karphos is the symbol of the minor flaw upon which the legalist gaze focuses, unable to see the beam of its own judgment.

🌾 The Twig in the Eye

The karphos is not imaginary (the other does have a small defect or injury in their eye), but the inquisitorial method to extract it is brutal and destructive when led by someone lacking internal discernment.
