Addressing the elite: "And When the Pharisee saw
it, he marveled that he [Jesus] had not first washed before dinner.
And the Lord said unto him, 'Now do ye Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full
of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that
which is without make that which is within also? But rather give
alms of such things as ye have; and, behold all things are clean
unto you. But woe unto, Pharisees for ye tithe mint and rue and
all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of
God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats
in the synagogues and greetings in the markets. Who unto you
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye are as graves which
appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of
them." (Luke 11:37-44) |
