New Testament

Luke 11:35-43 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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

36. If your whole body is full of light, and no part of it is in darkness, then it will be as full of light as a lamp illuminating you with its brightness.”

37. After he had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home. He entered and reclined at table to eat.

38. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not observe the prescribed washing before the meal.

39. The Lord said to him, “Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil.

40. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?

41. But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.

42. Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint and of rue and of every garden herb, but you pay no attention to judgment and to love for God. These you should have done, without overlooking the others.

43. Woe to you Pharisees! You love the seat of honor in synagogues and greetings in marketplaces.
