New Testament

Luke 11:36-47 Modern English Version (MEV)

36. If your whole body, then, is full of light, no part being dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the shining candle gives you light.”

37. As He spoke, a Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

38. When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

39. Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and 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 alms from what is within. And then all things are clean to you.

42. “Woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb and pass over justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

43. “Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the prominent seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

44. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unseen graves, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”

45. One of the lawyers answered, “Teacher, by saying these things You insult us also.”

46. He said, “Woe to you also, you lawyers! For you load men with burdens difficult to carry, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

47. “Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
