John Chrysostom, on Isa 1:16

“Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,”

“I say this, for in the prophet's words he does not mean bathing by water—the Jewish method of purification—but the purifying of the conscience. Let us also, then, be clean.”
