A hyperbole is an illustration that is a huge exaggeration.
Matthew 7:1-3 -- about why we would look at the straw in our brothers eye, when there is a rafter in our own eye. Therefore stop judging others; look at yourself first.
Matt 23:24 -- about straining the gnat, but swallowing a camel. It would take over 70 million gnats to weigh as much as a camel. It's about making a big deal over little matters; while 'winking' over more important issues.
A hyperbole is a statement of extreme exaggeration to show emphasis.
