Luke 11:41 But rather, etc. This verse is peculiar to Luke. Give for alms, etc. The Pharisees were careful for the outside; careless for what was within; but the Lord says: "Give for alms the within"; i.e., let your hearts and lives be full of compassion, and it will make you clean.
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.
