37 While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went and placed himself at table.
38 But the Pharisee was surprised to observe that he used no washing before dinner.
39 Then the Lord said to him, As for you, Pharisees, you cleanse the outside of your cups and dishes, while you yourselves are inwardly full of rapacity and malevolence.
40 Unthinking men! did not he who made the outside, make the inside also?
41 Only give in alms what you have, and all things shall be clean to you.
42 Alas, for you, Pharisees! because you pay the tithe of mint and rue, and of every kind of herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These things you ought to have practiced, and not to have omitted those.
43 Alas, for you, Pharisees! because you love the most conspicuous seats in synagogues, and salutations in public places.
44 Alas, for you! because you are like concealed graves, over which people walk without knowing it.
45 Here, one of the lawyers interposing, said, By speaking thus, Rabbi, you reproach us also.
46 He answered, Alas, for you, lawyers! also; because you lade men with intolerable burdens-burdens which you yourselves will not so much as touch with one of your fingers.
47 Alas, for you! because you build the monuments of the prophets, whom your fathers killed.
