39 Then the Lord spoke to him. "You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish," he said. "But inside you are full of greed and evil.
40 You foolish people! Didn't the one who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Give to poor people what is inside the dish. Then everything will be clean for you.
42 "How terrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give God a tenth of your garden plants, such as mint and rue. But you have forgotten to be fair and to love God. You should have practiced the last things without failing to do the first.
43 "How terrible for you Pharisees! You love the most important seats in the synagogues. You love having people greet you in the market places.
44 "How terrible for you! You are like graves that are not marked. People walk over them without knowing it."
45 An authority on the law spoke to Jesus. He said, "Teacher, when you say things like that, you say bad things about us too."
