Luke 11:42
Summary for Luke 11:42-52: 11:42-52 a 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 b, 43 c, 44 d) and three against the teachers of religious law (11:46 e, 47 f, 52 g). 11:42 h tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens: Tithing was required by the law (Lev 27:30-33 i; Num 18:21-32 j; Deut 14:22-29 k; 2 Chr 31:5-12 l). 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.
