PNT:

11:41 But rather, etc. This verse is peculiar to Luke.
Give for alms, etc. The Pharisees were careful for the outside; careless for what was within; but the Lord says: Give for alms the within; i.e. let your hearts and lives be full of compassion, and it will make you clean.

WES:

MHC:

11:37-54 We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.
