## the outside of cups and bowls ##

Washing of the outside of containers was a part of the ritual practices of the Pharisees.

## but the inside of you is filled with greed and wickedness ##

This is a metaphor that compares the way they ignore the inside of the container to how they ignore their own internal condition. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## Did not the one who made the outside also make the inside? ##

This is a rhetorical question. Jesus was rebuking the Pharisees for not understanding that what is in their hearts matters to God. It can be translated as a statement as it is in the UDB. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

## give to the poor what is inside ##

"Give what is inside to poor people." The meaning is "focus on using the inside for God instead of only cleaning the outside."
