Lukas 11:39

11:39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean ¹  the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. ² 

Lukas 17:27

17:27 People ³  were eating, ⁴  they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage – right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then ⁵  the flood came and destroyed them all. ⁶ 

[11:39]  ¹ sn The allusion to washing (clean the outside of the cup) shows Jesus knew what they were thinking and deliberately set up a contrast that charged them with hypocrisy and majoring on minors.

[11:39]  ² tn Or “and evil.”

[17:27]  ³ tn Grk “They.” The plural in Greek is indefinite, referring to people in general.

[17:27]  ⁴ tn These verbs (“eating… drinking… marrying… being given in marriage”) are all progressive imperfects, describing action in progress at that time.

[17:27]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[17:27]  ⁶ sn Like that flood came and destroyed them all, the coming judgment associated with the Son of Man will condemn many.
