Luke 11:40

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.

43 ^aWoe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

44 ^aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! ^bFor you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”
