Luke 11:42 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint. — See Note on Matthew 23:23. Here, again, we note minor variations — “rue and all manner of herbs,” for St. Matthew’s “anise and cummin;” “judgment and the love of God,” for “the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith” — sufficient to show independence.

Luke 11:42

42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
