Luke 11:37–45
37Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.↗
38When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.↗
39The Lord said to him,“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.↗
40You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?↗
41But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.↗
42But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.↗
43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.↗
44Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”↗
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”↗
