mnt@Luke:11:39 @ but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.

mnt@Luke:11:40 @ "Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

mnt@Luke:11:41 @ "Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
