These verses are similar to what Jesus said to the hypocrites who brought the woman caught in adultery, 'he who is without sin, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.' They all left because they saw their own hearts as not being blameless, and so, as it says below Christians are called to not be 'holier than thou' and to have an awareness of their own failings and faults, before confronting others.
Jesus of course said many other challenging things, all of which are still relevant today, to those to whom it is addressed.
1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
