    In Matthew 7:5 and Luke 6:42, the future active forms occur after removal of a plank from one's own eye and before removing a speck from a brother's eye. In Mark 8:25, the aorist active form follows renewed laying on of hands and restored sight; the APB renders the result as seeing "everything clearly."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the result as "see clearly" in Matthew 7:5 and Luke 6:42, and as seeing "everything clearly" in Mark 8:25. These phrases confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than a precise English equivalent.
