38. The Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus had not washed before eating.
39. So the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of your cup and plate, but inside you are full of violence and evil.
40. Fools! Did not God, who made the outside, also make the inside?
41. But give what is in your cups and plates to the poor, and everything will be ritually clean for you.
42. “How terrible for you Pharisees! You give God a tenth of the seasoning herbs, such as mint and rue and all the other herbs, but you neglect justice and love for God. These you should practise, without neglecting the others.
43. “How terrible for you Pharisees! You love the reserved seats in the synagogues and to be greeted with respect in the market places.
