He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
Luke 6:39. And he spake to them a parable. Luke relates this saying without mentioning any occurrence, but states generally, that Christ made use of this parable; as in recording many of Christ’s discourses he says nothing as to the occasion on which they were delivered.
Judge not, that you be not judged; condemn not, that you be not condemned. Show to others the mercy you need yourself, and God will show mercy to you; the merciful to others' names shall find others merciful to theirs. Forgive, give liberally, and it shall be given back into your bosom.

Commenting on Luke 6:37-49
The disciple is not above his master,.... Or "more excellent", as the Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions render it; that is, in learning and knowledge; if the master is ignorant, the scholar will be so too; and thus it is with teachers, and their people under their care; if the leaders are blind and ignorant, those under their instructions will remain so likewise.
