Jesus Accuses the Pharisees^(A)

³⁷ After Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee asked Jesus to ·eat [dine] with him. So Jesus went in and ·sat at the table [reclined; ^C the posture for a banquet or dinner party; see 7:36]. ³⁸ But the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not wash his hands before the meal [^Ca Jewish ritual for ceremonial purity]. ³⁹ The Lord said to him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are full of ·greed [extortion; robbery] and ·evil [wickedness].
