Woes to the Pharisees and Lawyers (Luke 11:37–54) 37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at the table.38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. 42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe…

Jesus and Beelzebul Luke 11:14–23 14 Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,”16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul,…

Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away…

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

Why we should not celebrate Halloween
Hello, everyone! I am KiKi. Even though Halloween has passed, it’s worth reflecting on this massive cultural phenomenon.
