Luke 11:34
Luke 11:34 Thy whole body also is full of light. If it were thus the whole body would be luminous, and if our souls be full of light, of the light of Christ, then our light shall shine as that of a lamp.
32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for athey repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body
33 a“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a bbasket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
34 aThe lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is1 good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is2 bad, your body also is full of darkness.
35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.
36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers
37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.
38 aWhen the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.
