Luke 11:33-54

33No oneG3762 lightsG681 a lampG3088 and puts itG5087 inG1519 a cellarG2926 or underG5259 a basketG3426. InsteadG235, he sets it onG1909 a standG3087, soG2443 thoseG3588 who enterG1531 can seeG991 theG3588 lightG5338.

34YourG4771 eyeG3788 isG1510 theG3588 lampG3088 of yourG3588 bodyG4983. WhenG3752 yourG4771 eyesG3788 areG1510 goodG573,1 yourG4771 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG1510 full of lightG5460. ButG1161 whenG1875 they areG1510 badG4190,2 yourG4771 bodyG4983 is full of darknessG4652. 35Be carefulG4648, thenG3767, that theG3588 lightG5457 withinG1722 youG4771 isG1510 notG3361 darknessG4655. 36SoG3767 ifG1487 yourG4771 whole bodyG4983 is fullG3650 of lightG5460, with noG3361 partG3313 of it in darknessG2192G4652, you will beG1510 radiantG3650G5460, asG5613 thoughG3752 a lampG3088 were shiningG796G5461 on youG4771.”

AsG1722 Jesus was speakingG2980, a PhariseeG5330 invitedG2065 HimG846 toG3704 dineG709 withG3844 himG846; so He went inG1525 and reclined at the tableG377. 38ButG1161 theG3588 PhariseeG5330 was surprisedG2296 to seeG3708 thatG3754 Jesus did not first washG3756G907G4412 beforeG4253 theG3588 mealG712.

39ThenG1161 theG3588 LordG2962 saidG2036, “NowG3568 youG4771 PhariseesG5330 cleanG2511 theG3588 outsideG1855 of theG3588 cupG4221 andG2532 dishG4094, butG1161 insideG2081 youG4771 are fullG1073 of greedG724 andG2532 wickednessG4189. 40You foolsG878! Did notG3756 theG3588 One who madeG4160 theG3588 outsideG1855 makeG4160 theG3588 insideG2081 as wellG2532? 41ButG4133 giveG1325 as almsG1654 the things thatG3588 are withinG1751 you, andG2532 beholdG2400, everythingG3956 will beG1510 cleanG2513 for youG4771.

WoeG3759 to youG4771 PhariseesG5330! ForG3754 you pay tithes ofG586G3588 mintG2238, rueG4076, andG2532 everyG3956 herbG3001, butG2532 you disregardG3928 justiceG2920 andG2532 theG3588 loveG26 of GodG2316. You should haveG1163 practicedG4160 the latter withoutG3361 neglectingG3935 the former.

43WoeG3759 to youG4771 PhariseesG5330! ForG3754 you loveG25 theG3588 chief seatsG4410 inG1722 theG3588 synagoguesG4864 andG2532 theG3588 greetingsG783 inG1722 theG3588 marketplacesG58. 44WoeG3759 to youG4771! ForG3754 you areG1510 likeG5613 unmarkedG82 gravesG3419, which menG444 walkG4043 overG1883 withoutG3756 even noticingG1492.”

45

OneG5100 of theG3588 experts in the lawG3544 toldG611G3004 HimG846, “TeacherG1320, when You sayG3004 these thingsG3778, You insultG5195 usG1473 as wellG2532.”

46“WoeG3759 to youG4771 as wellG2532, experts in the lawG3544!” He repliedG2036. “ForG3754 you weigh men downG5412G3588G444 with heavy burdensG5413G1419, butG2532 you yourselvesG846 will not liftG3756G4379 aG1520G4771G3588 finger to lightenG1147 their loadG5413.

47WoeG3759 to youG4771! ForG3754 you buildG3618 tombsG3419 for theG3588 prophetsG4396, butG1161 it was yourG4771 fathersG3962 who killedG615 themG846. 48SoG686 you areG1510 witnessesG3144 consentingG4909 to theG3588 deedsG2041 ofG3588 yourG4771 fathersG3962: TheyG846 killedG615 the prophets, andG1161 youG4771 buildG3618 their tombs. 49Because of thisG1223G3778, theG3588 wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 saidG2036, ‘I will sendG649 themG846 prophetsG4396 andG2532 apostlesG652; some ofG1537 themG846 they will killG615 andG2532 others they will persecuteG1377.’

50As a resultG2443, thisG3778 generationG1074 will be chargedG1567 withG575 theG3588 bloodG129 of allG3956 theG3588 prophetsG4396 thatG3588 has been shedG1632 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, 51fromG575 the bloodG129 of AbelG6 toG2193 the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, whoG3588 was killedG622 betweenG3342 theG3588 altarG2379 andG2532 theG3588 sanctuaryG3624.3 YesG3483, I tellG3004 youG4771, all of it will be chargedG1567 toG575 thisG3778 generationG1074.

52WoeG3759 to youG4771 experts in the lawG3544! ForG3754 you have taken awayG142 theG3588 keyG2807 toG3588 knowledgeG1108. You yourselvesG846 have not enteredG3756G1525, andG2532 you have hinderedG2967 those whoG3588 were enteringG1525.”

53AsG846 Jesus went onG1831 from thereG2547, theG3588 scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330 beganG756 to oppose Him bitterlyG1171G1758 andG2532 to ply Him with questionsG653G846 aboutG4012 many thingsG4119, 54waitingG1748 to catchG2340 HimG846 in somethingG5100 He might sayG1537G846G3588G4750.
