Jesus begins to speak to the Pharisee using a metaphor. He compares the way they clean cups and bowls to how they clean themselves. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# the outside of cups and bowls
|
|
|
|
Washing of the outside of containers was a part of the ritual practices of the Pharisees. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

|
# but the inside of you is filled with greed and evil
|
|
|
|
This part of the metaphor contrasts the careful way they clean the outside of the dishes with the way they ignore their own internal condition. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
