wondered that he did not first immerse himself before dinner. (39)And
the Lord said to him: Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup
and the platter; but your inward part is full of rapacity and
wickedness. (40)Fools! Did not he, who made the outside, make the
inside also? (41)But give that which ye have in alms[11:41]; and,
behold, all things are clean to you.

(42)But woe to you, Pharisees! because ye pay tithe of mint and rue
and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought
ye to have done, and not leave those undone.

(43)Woe to you, Pharisees! because ye love the first seat in the

shall be required of this generation.

(52)Woe to you lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge; ye
entered not in yourselves, and those who were entering in ye hindered.

(53)And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees
began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many

thousands, so that they trod one upon another, he began first to say
to his disciples: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is
