Jesus accepts the dinner invitation of a prominent Pharisee – a meeting that immediately erupts in scandal, as Jesus forgoes the ritual washing expected by his host.
It leads to Jesus declaring a series of “woes” – like those of the early Hebrew prophets – condemning the Pharisees for dedicating such energy to the tiniest details of ritual while managing to ignore the greatest commandment of all: to love.
For those of us who’ve been in church a while, it is a reminder that religious action without love is no virtue.
The text for this episode is Luke 11:37-54 (NRSV)
