" A brother of Scetis committed a fault. A council was called to which Moses was invited, but he refused to go to it. Then the priest sent someone to him, saying ‘Come, for everyone is waiting for you.’ So he got up and went. He took a sack, filled it with sand and cut a small hole at the bottom and carried it on his shoulders. The others came out to meet him and said, ‘What is this, father?’ The Abba said to them, ‘My sins run out behind me, and I do not see them, and today I am coming to judge the errors of another.’ When they hearth that, they said no more to the brother but forgave him.
