Luke 11:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
41 Therefore, give alms [a]of those things which you have, and behold, all things shall be clean unto you.
42 [b]But woe be to you, Pharisees: for ye [c]tithe the mint and the rue, and [d]all manner herbs, and pass over [e]judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
