The Word Proclaimed - Luke 11:37-42 (NRSV)

While he was speaking, a Pharisee invited him to dine with him; so he went in and
took his place at the table. The Pharisee was amazed to see that he did not first wash
before dinner. Then the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the
cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not
the one who made the outside make the inside also? So give for alms those things that
are within; and see, everything will be clean for you.
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and herbs of all kinds, and
neglect justice and the love of God; it is these you ought to have practiced, without
neglecting the others.
