Luke 11: 37-41 - 'Give thanks for what you have and it will all be clean.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 588 (in 'Jesus and Israel's Faith in the One God and Saviour') - Jesus scandalized the Pharisees by eating with tax collectors and sinners as familiarly as with themselves (abbreviated).

- 2447 (in 'Love for the Poor') - The works of mercy are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities. Instructing, advising, consoling, comforting are spiritual works of mercy, as are forgiving and bearing wrongs patiently. the corporal works of mercy consist especially in feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and imprisoned, and burying the dead. Among all these, giving alms to the poor is one of the chief witnesses to fraternal charity: it is also a work of justice pleasing to God.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast, which is produced by the Logical
0:16.3	Bible Study Ministry. Thank you so much for your support of the ministry. And if you're new to this
0:21.6	podcast, it's a Catholic podcast where every day we take a verse by verse look at the gospel reading
0:27.8	from today's mass. So we're doing an exegesis of scripture, trying to give you the tools to
0:33.1	help you understand the text in its original context. Why did Jesus use certain words? What was he trying to
0:38.7	get at? So this is called looking at the literal sense of scripture, and that's what this
0:42.9	podcast is all about, purely looking at the text of scripture. Today, if you go to Mass, you
0:48.3	would hear from Luke chapter 11 verses 37 to 41. So here's the text. Jesus had just finished speaking when a Pharisee invited him to
0:59.5	dine at his house. He went in and sat down at the table. The Pharisees saw this and was surprised
1:06.1	that he had not first washed before the meal. But the Lord said to him, O you Pharisees, you clean the outside of
1:14.8	cup and plate, while inside yourselves are filled with extortion and wickedness. Fools, did not he who
1:22.5	made the outside make the inside too? Instead, give arms from what you have, and then indeed, everything will be clean for you.
1:32.3	So the text we're looking at today, Luke's version of this story, is placed in a different context than Matthew and Mark's version.
1:40.3	So it looks like Luke has chosen to take out several important parts of the conversation
1:46.4	and some of the surrounding context. And perhaps Luke has deliberately placed it in a different
1:51.3	point in Jesus' ministry. It's not entirely clear why Luke has done this and scholars debate it.
1:57.0	So this is certainly a debated text in terms of why Luke has placed it where he has, because
2:02.6	Matthew and Mark's version match up pretty closely with each other, but Luke's version of this
2:07.6	story seems a little different in some ways, but of course it's clearly the same story.
2:12.6	It's just being told in a bit of a different way.
2:14.6	So what's the context here?
2:16.6	Jesus is moving from Galilee to Judea for the final phase of his ministry.
