Cast out first the beam of thine own eye. It says in Luke 6:42, "Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye." Basically what this verse is saying is before you condemn someone else, you should take a look at yourself because you have your own problems and faults and therefore are not fit to judge anyone else.

Others say that Jesus had hematohidrosis, which is a medical condition where your capillaries burst, usually set on by great stress.
