40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
40 You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
40 Stupid Pharisees! Didn't the One who made the outside also make the inside?
40 Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
40 Fools! Didn't God make the inside as well as the outside?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 11:40
Commentary on Luke 11:37-54
(Read Luke 11:37-54)
We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.
