Luke 11:40 - People's Commentary (NT)

Luke 11:40

38 ^aWhen the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39 ^aThen the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but ^byour inward part is full of greed and wickedness.

40 Foolish ones! Did not ^aHe who made the outside make the inside also?

41 ^aBut rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

42 ^a“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and ^bpass by justice and the ^clove of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

Luke 11:39-52

Luke 11:39-52 The Lord said unto him. The denunciation of the Pharisees and lawyers contained in these verses is found in similar language in Matthew . That address was spoken in the temple. There is no improbability about the Lord speaking the same discourse twice to the same class of opposers. See the notes on Matthew 23:1-36.
