“But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.”
King James Version (KJV)
11:41 Give what is in them - The vessels which ye clean, in alms, and all things are clean to you. As if he had said, By acts directly contrary to rapine and wickedness, show that your hearts are cleansed, and these outward washings are needless.
Lu 11:41 But rather, etc. This verse is peculiar to Luke. Give for alms, etc. The Pharisees were careful for the outside; careless for what was within; but the Lord says: "Give for alms the within"; i.e., let your hearts and lives be full of compassion, and it will make you clean.
