As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table.His host was amazed to see that he sat down to eat without first performing the hand washing ceremony required by Jewish custom.Then the Lord said to him,“ You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy— full of greed and wickedness!Fools! Didn’t God make the inside as well as the outside?So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over.“ What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.“ What sorrow awaits you Pharisees!

You don’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering.”As Jesus was leaving, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees became hostile and tried to provoke him with many questions.They wanted to trap him into saying something they could use against him.

But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves,“ That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?”Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them,“ Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?
