Lucas 11:39

39 Y el Señor le dijo: Ahora vosotros los fariseos limpiáis lo de fuera del vaso y del plato; mas lo que está dentro de vosotros está lleno de rapiña y de maldad

Lucas 11:39 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:39

And the Lord said unto him
Jesus, as the Syriac and Persic versions read; the Lord Jesus, as the Ethiopic.

Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup, and the
platter;
being very tenacious of the traditions of the elders, concerning the washing of cups and pots, which had been of late years brought in among them, and therefore the word "now" is used; (See Gill on Matthew 23:25) and (See Gill on Mark 7:4),

but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness:
meaning either their souls, which were full of all manner of sin, the cleansing and purity of which they had no concern about, whilst they were very strict and curious in washing their bodies, their cups and platters; or rather the vessels which were filled with meat and drink got by extortion, rapine, and oppression; see ( Matthew 23:25 ) .

Lucas 11:39 In-Context

37 Y luego que hubo hablado, le rogó un fariseo que comiera con él; y él entró y se sentó a la mesa

38 Y el fariseo, cuando lo vio, se maravilló de que no se lavó antes de comer

39 Y el Señor le dijo: Ahora vosotros los fariseos limpiáis lo de fuera del vaso y del plato; mas lo que está dentro de vosotros está lleno de rapiña y de maldad

40 Locos, ¿el que hizo lo de fuera, no hizo también lo de dentro

41 Pero de lo que os resta, dad limosna {lit. actos de misericordia}; y he aquí todo os será limpio
