Luke 11:37

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.”

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.
