- 37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to eat with him. And going inside, he sat down to eat.
- 38 But the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself: “Why might it be that he has not washed before eating?”
- 39 And the Lord said to him: “You Pharisees today clean what is outside the cup and the plate, but what is inside of you is full of plunder and iniquity.
- 40 Fools! Did not he who made what is outside, indeed also make what is inside?
- 41 Yet truly, give what is above as alms, and behold, all things are clean for you.

Catholic Public Domain Version

Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 11](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/11/)

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
