DENUNCIATION OF THE PHARISEES AND SCHOLARS OF THE LAW
Luke 11: 37-53
37 While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went
in and sat at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not
first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him,
"Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness.
40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41 But
give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is
clean for you.
