Lucas 11:39

39 Então o Senhor lhe disse: “Vocês, fariseus, limpam o exterior do copo e do prato, mas interiormente estão cheios de ganância e de maldade.

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 Tendo terminado de falar, um fariseu o convidou para comer com ele. Então Jesus foi e reclinou-se à mesa;

38 mas o fariseu, notando que Jesus não se lavara cerimonialmente antes da refeição, ficou surpreso.

39 Então o Senhor lhe disse: “Vocês, fariseus, limpam o exterior do copo e do prato, mas interiormente estão cheios de ganância e de maldade.

40 Insensatos! Quem fez o exterior não fez também o interior?

41 Mas deem o que está dentro do prato como esmola e verão que tudo ficará limpo em vocês.
