MATTHEW 23:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.”
You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. The order of cleansing: inside first, then the outside will also be clean. The teaching of Matthew 15:11 (what comes out of the mouth defiles) applied to the Pharisees directly: the inside that is cleaned produces the outside cleanness that the ritual purity system seeks by external means.
