Is there any equivalent quotation from the Buddhist scriptures to the following from the Christian Bible (Matthew 7:3-5)?




Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay
no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your
brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time
there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the
plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the
speck from your brother’s eye.

          1. One should first establish oneself in what is proper; then only should one instruct others. Thus the wise man will not be reproached.



          2. One should do what one teaches others to do; if one would train others, one should be well controlled oneself. Difficult, indeed, is
            self-control.

            So then the bamboo acrobat said this to his assistant Medakathalika:
            "You look after me, my dear Medakathalika, and I'll look after you.
            Thus with us looking after one another, guarding one another,
            we'll show off our craft, receive some payment,
            and safely climb down the bamboo pole."



            This being said, the assistant Medakathalika said this to the bamboo acrobat:
            "That will not do at all, master!
            You look after yourself, master, and I will look after myself.
            Thus with each of us looking after ourselves, guarding ourselves,
            we'll show off our craft, receive some payment,
            and safely climb down from the bamboo pole.
            That's the right way to do it!" ~~ SN 47.19 ~~
