Luke 11:46-52

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.

48So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers, because they [actually] killed them, and you repair or build their tombs.

49For this reason also the wisdom of God said [in the Scriptures], ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will put to death and some they will persecute,

50so that charges may be brought against this generation [holding them responsible] for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,

51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah [the priest], who was murdered between the altar and the house of God. Yes, I tell you, charges will be brought against this generation.’

52Woe to you lawyers, because you have taken away the key to knowledge (scriptural truth). You yourselves did not enter, and you held back those who were entering [by your flawed interpretation of God’s word and your man-made tradition].”
