Luke 11:39-52

39But the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inward [parts] are full of plunder and wickedness.

40Fools, has not he who has made the outside made the inside also?

41But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

42But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of 1God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.

43Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.

44Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know [it].

45And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.

46And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

47Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.

48Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for they killed them, and ye build [their sepulchres].

49For this reason also the wisdom of 2God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,

50that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.

52Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.
