Physician, heal thyself

Physician, heal thyself (Ἰατρέ, θεράπευσον σεαυτόν) is a proverb found in .
The usual interpretation of this passage is, during the Rejection of Jesus, Jesus expected to hear natives of his hometown of Nazareth use this phrase to criticize him. 
The moral of the proverb is counsel to attend to one's own defects, rather than criticizing defects in others, a sentiment also expressed in the Discourse on judgmentalism.
Jesus used these words to show not only that he was fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 61, but also, he was actually prophesying that his adversaries would say these words even as he hung on the cross at his crucifixion. [3]
