translationNotes

• Jesus continues to speak against the religious leaders because of their hypocrisy.
• Woe to you - See how you translated this in :en:bible🎶mat:23:13.
• For you clean the outside of the cup and of the plate - The "scribes" and "Pharisees" appear "pure on the outside" to others. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
• inside they are full of extortion and excess - "they take what belongs to others by force so they can have much more than they need"
• You blind Pharisee - The Pharisees do not understand the truth. They are not physically blind. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
• clean first the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become clean also - If their hearts are right with God, then their lives will show that as well. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
