Luke 11:41-43
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
43 (A)[f]Woe be to you, Pharisees: for ye love the uppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
