No one with a lighted candle, puts it in a secret place or under a
bushel. It is put on a candlestick so those who come in may see the
light. The light of the body is the eye. When your eye is single, your
whole body is also full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body
is full of darkness.
Take heed, therefore, that the light that is in you be not darkness.
If thy whole body is full of light, with no dark parts, the whole
shall be full of light, and, like the bright shining of a candle, it
gives off the light.
Later, a Pharisee who had invited Him to dinner marvelled that He had
not first washed before sitting at the meal. Jesus said to him, You
Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean; but
inside they are full of poison and wickedness. Fools, did not He who
made what is on the outside, make what is inside also? Give of what
you have, then all things will be clean to you.
But woe to you, Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and all kinds of
herbs, and ignore judgment and the love of God. These you ought to
have done without ignoring the others also.
Woe to you, Pharisees! You love the best seats in the synagogues, and
greetings in the markets. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! You are as empty as graves that others walk over and do
not see.
