Bible verse
You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?
Luke 11:40 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 11.
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.
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
