Luke 11:35-40 Common English Bible (CEB)

35. Therefore, see to it that the light in you isn’t darkness.

36. If your whole body is full of light—with no part darkened—then it will be as full of light as when a lamp shines brightly on you."

37. While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to share a meal with him, so Jesus went and took his place at the table.

38. When the Pharisee saw that Jesus didn’t ritually purify his hands by washing before the meal, he was astonished.

39. The Lord said to him, “Now, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and platter, but your insides are stuffed with greed and wickedness.

40. Foolish people! Didn’t the one who made the outside also make the inside?
