Luke 11:35-41 New English Translation (NET)

35. Therefore see to it that the light in you is not darkness.

36. If then your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”

37. As he spoke, a Pharisee invited Jesus to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.

38. The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.

39. But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40. You fools! Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside as well?

41. But give from your heart to those in need, and then everything will be clean for you.
