Luke 11:31-46
English Standard Version
Chapter 11
31The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
33"No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
34Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.
35Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.
36If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light."
37While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table.
38The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.
39And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
40You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
41But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
42"But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
44Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it."
