Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 11:37
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 11:37 · Douay-Rheims
“And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. 106.) For every day before dinner the Pharisees washed themselves with water, as if a daily washing could be a cleansing of the heart. But the Pharisee thought within himself, yet did not give utterance to a word; nevertheless, He heard who perceived the secrets of the heart. Hence it follows, And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.”
