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 Jesús critica a los líderes religiosos
Mientras Jesús hablaba, uno de los fariseos lo invitó a comer en su casa. Jesús fue y se sentó a la mesa.

38 Su anfitrión se sorprendió de que se sentara a la mesa sin antes realizar la ceremonia de lavarse las manos que exigía la costumbre judía.

39 Entonces el Señor le dijo:

40 ¡Necios! ¿No hizo Dios tanto el interior como el exterior?

41 Por lo tanto, limpien el interior dando de sus bienes a los pobres, y quedarán completamente limpios.
