Luke 11:29-54

29NowG1161 as the crowdsG3793 were increasingG1865, He beganG757 to sayG3004, “1ThisG3778 generationG1074 is a wickedG4190 generationG1074; it 2demandsG2212 a 3signG4592, and so noG3756 4signG4592 will be givenG1325 to it exceptG1487G3361 the 5signG4592 of JonahG2495. 30For justG2531 asG2531 6JonahG2495 becameG1096 a 7signG4592 to the NinevitesG3536, soG3779 will the SonG5207 of ManG444 be to thisG3778 generationG1074. 31The 8QueenG938 of the SouthG3558 will riseG1453 upG1453 with the menG435 of thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920 and condemnG2632 them, becauseG3754 she cameG2064 from the endsG4009 of the earthG1093 to listenG191 to the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; and beholdG2400, something greaterG4183 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of NinevehG3536 will standG450 upG450 with thisG3778 generationG1074 at the judgmentG2920 and condemnG2632 it, becauseG3754 9they repentedG3340 at the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; and beholdG2400, something greaterG4183 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602.

33“10NoG3762 oneG3762 lightsG681 a lampG3088 and putsG5087 it away in a cellarG2926 norG3761 underG5259 a basketG3426, but on the lampstandG3087, soG2443 thatG2443 thoseG3588 who enterG1531 may seeG991 the lightG5338. 3411Your eyeG3788 is the lampG3088 of your bodyG4983; whenG3752 your eyeG3788 is 12clearG573, your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is fullG5460 ofG5460 lightG5460; but whenG1875 it is 13badG4190, your bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is fullG4652 ofG4652 darknessG4652. 35SoG3767 watchG4648 outG4648 that the lightG5457 in you is not darknessG4655. 36ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 your wholeG3650 bodyG4983 is fullG5460 ofG5460 lightG5460, withoutG3361G2192 anyG5100 darkG4652 partG3313, it will be whollyG3650 illuminatedG5460, as whenG3752 the lampG3088 illuminatesG5461 you with its lightG796.”

37NowG1161 whenG1722 He had spokenG2980, a PhariseeG5330 askedG2065 Him to haveG709 lunchG709 with him; and He wentG1525 inG1525 and reclinedG377 at the table. 38When the PhariseeG5330 sawG3708 this, he wasG2296 surprisedG2296 that Jesus had not firstG4413 1415ceremoniallyG907 washedG907 beforeG4253 the 16mealG712. 39But 17the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, “NowG3568 18you PhariseesG5330 cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG4094; but your insideG2081 is fullG1073 of greedG724 and wickednessG4189. 4019You foolishG878 onesG878, did He who madeG4160 the outsideG1855 not makeG4160 the insideG2081 alsoG2532? 41But 20giveG1325 that which isG1751 withinG1751 as a charitableG1654 giftG1654, and 21thenG2400 allG3956 thingsG3956 are 22cleanG2513 for you.

42“23But woeG3759 to you PhariseesG5330! For you 24payG586 tithesG586 of mintG2238, rueG4076, and everyG3956 kind of gardenG3001 herbG3001, and yet you 25ignoreG3928 justiceG2920 and the loveG26 of GodG2316; but theseG3778 are the thingsG3778 you shouldG1163 have doneG4160 withoutG3361 neglectingG3935 the othersG2548. 43WoeG3759 to you PhariseesG5330! For you 26loveG25 the seatG4410 ofG4410 honorG4410 in the synagoguesG4864 and personalG783 greetingsG783 in the marketplacesG58. 4427WoeG3759 to you! For you are likeG5613 28unseenG82 tombsG3419, and the peopleG444 who walkG4043 overG1883 them are unawareG3756G3609 of it.”

45OneG5100 of the 2930lawyersG3544 saidG3004 to Him inG611 replyG611, “TeacherG1320, when You sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, You insultG5195 us tooG2532.” 46But He saidG3004, “WoeG3759 to you 31lawyersG3544 asG2532 wellG2532! For 32you loadG5412 peopleG444 with burdensG5413 that are hardG1419 toG1419 bearG1419, 33whileG2532 you yourselvesG846 will not even 34touchG4379 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of your fingersG1147. 4735WoeG3759 to you! For you buildG3618 the 36tombsG3419 of the prophetsG4396, and it was your fathersG3962 who killedG615 them. 48SoG686 you are witnessesG3144 and you approveG4909 of the deedsG2041 of your fathersG3962; becauseG3754 it was they who killedG615 them, and you buildG3618 their 37tombs. 49For thisG3778 reasonG1223 alsoG2532, 38the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 saidG3004, ‘39I will sendG649 them prophetsG4396 and apostlesG652, and some of them they will killG615, and some they will 40persecuteG1377, 50soG2443 thatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, shedG1632 41sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be chargedG1567 42againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074, 51from 43the bloodG129 of AbelG6 to 44the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, who was killedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 and the houseG3624 of God; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, it shall be chargedG1567 45againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074.’ 52WoeG3759 to you 4647lawyersG3544! For you have takenG142 awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108; 48you yourselvesG846 did not enterG1525, and you hinderedG2967 thoseG3588 who were enteringG1525.”

53When He leftG1831 thatG2547 placeG2547, the scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 beganG757 to beG1758 veryG1171 hostileG1758 and to interrogateG653 Him aboutG4012 manyG4183 subjects, 5449plottingG1748 againstG1748 Him 50to catchG2340 51Him inG2340 somethingG5100 He might sayG1537G4750.
