Cleanse first that which is within the cup and the platter - Let them be filled with the fruits of honest industry, and then the outside and the inside will be really "clean." By this allusion to the cup and platter he taught them that it was necessary to cleanse the heart first, that the external conduct might be really pure and holy.
Wesley's Matthew 23:26 Bible Commentary
23:26 Ye build the tombs of the prophets - And that is all, for ye neither observe their sayings, nor imitate their actions.
