The Blind leading The Blind

Today I went to the bank with a friend who speaks no Spanish to see his bank manager, who speaks no English. He also has a very strong Canarian accent (a sock in his mouth :lol:) and spoke very fast, so I was not very much help in translating. It was a case of The Blind leading The Blind.

Is there an equivalent expression in Spanish?

I am sure I have heard un ciego guiando otro ciego.
This is one of those biblical refrains that translate directly

Thanks @Poli - you are right, Luke 6,39-42, and oddly it comes immediately before the previous quotation from the bible on this forum about about a splinter in your neighbour's eye.
