New Testament

Luke 11:33-43 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

33. “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light.

34. Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is sincere, your whole body is full of light also. But when it is evil, your body is dark also.

35. Therefore pay careful attention that the light in you is not darkness!

36. If therefore your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, it will be completely full of light, as when the lamp with its light gives light to you.”

37. And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to have a meal with him, and he went in and reclined at table.

38. And the Pharisee, when he saw it, was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal.

39. But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inside is full of greediness and wickedness.

40. Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

41. But give as charitable giving the things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.

42. “But woe to you, Pharisees, because you pay a tenth of mint and rue and every garden herb, and neglect justice and love for God! But it was necessary to do these things without neglecting those things also.

43. Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces!
