Luke 11:41-42
11:41 a by giving gifts to the poor: Acts of love reveal internal righteousness.Summary for Luke 11:42-52: 11:42-52 b What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! Woes are the opposite of blessings (see study note on 6:24-26). Jesus pronounced six woes, three against the Pharisees (11:42 c, 43 d, 44 e) and three against the teachers of religious law (11:46 f, 47 g, 52 h). 11:42 i tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens: Tithing was required by the law (Lev 27:30-33 j; Num 18:21-32 k; Deut 14:22-29 l; 2 Chr 31:5-12 m). The Pharisees were meticulous in making sure that everything was properly tithed, but they ignored the more important issues—justice and the love of God.
