Context of Luke 11:45

43Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the best seats in the synagogues and to be respectfully greeted in the market places. 44Woe to you! For you are like graves which are unmarked, and people walk over them without being aware of it [and are ceremonially unclean].” One of the lawyers [an expert in the Mosaic Law] answered Him, “Teacher, by saying this, You insult us too!” 46But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well, because you weigh men down with burdens [man-made rules, unreasonable requirements] which are hard to bear, and you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers [to lighten the load]. 47Woe to you! For you repair or build tombs for the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.
