Read in context

Luke 11:37–41 · Berean Standard Bible

37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
