Christ reproves the Pharisees

Saint Luke - Chapter 11

Christ reproves the Pharisees. J-J Tissot

[37] Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam pharisaeus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit.
And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.

[38] Pharisaeus autem coepit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium.
And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.

[39] Et ait Dominus ad illum : Nunc vos pharisaei, quod deforis est calicis et catini, mundatis : quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina et iniquitate.
And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity.

[40] Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit?
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make also that which is within?

[41] Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam : et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis.
But yet that which remaineth, give alms; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

[42] Sed vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et praeteritis judicium et caritatem Dei : haec autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere.
But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb; and pass over judgment, and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

[43] Vae vobis, pharisaeis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro.
Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the marketplace.

[44] Vae vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quae non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt.
Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not, and men that walk over are not aware.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
