New Testament

Luke 11:32-41 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

32. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation, and look — something greater than Jonah is here!

33. “No one lights a lamp and puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light.

34. Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light. But when it is bad, your body is also full of darkness.

35. Take care then, that the light in you is not darkness.

36. If, therefore, your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be entirely illuminated, as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

37. As He was speaking, a Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and reclined at the table.

38. When the Pharisee saw this, he was amazed that He did not first perform the ritual washing before dinner.

39. But the Lord said to him: “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and evil.

40. Fools! Didn’t He who made the outside make the inside too?

41. But give from what is within to the poor, , and then everything is clean for you.
