Luke11:40
Ye fools. How unwise and wicked is your conduct! The word denotes not only want of wisdoms, but also wickedness. Comp. Ps 14:1; Prov 13:19; 14:9. Your conduct is not merely foolish, but it is a cloak for sin--designed to countenance wickedness.
Did not he, &c. Did not God, who made the body, make also the soul? You Pharisees take great pains to cleanse the body, under a pretence of pleasing God. Did he not also make the mind? and is it not of as much importance that that should be pure, as that the body should?
