Luke 11:37 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 11.

33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.

35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.

36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”

37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.

38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.

39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?

41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
