New Testament

Luke 11:31-38 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

31. When the judgment comes, the Queen of the South will stand there with you and condemn you. She travelled a long way to hear Solomon's wisdom, and yet here is something far greater than Solomon.

32. The people of Nineveh will also stand there with you and condemn you. They turned to God when Jonah preached, and yet here is something far greater than Jonah.

33. No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a clay pot. A lamp is put on a lampstand, so that everyone who comes into the house can see the light.

34. Your eyes are the lamp for your body. When your eyes are good, you have all the light you need. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark.

35. So be sure that your light isn't darkness.

36. If you have light, and nothing is dark, then light will be everywhere, as when a lamp shines brightly on you.

37. When Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him home for a meal. Jesus went and sat down to eat.

38. The Pharisee was surprised that he did not wash his hands before eating.
