Luke 11:39-52

39But 1the LordG2962 saidG3004 to him, “NowG3568 2you PhariseesG5330 cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the dishG4094; but your insideG2081 is fullG1073 of greedG724 and wickednessG4189. 403You foolishG878 onesG878, did He who madeG4160 the outsideG1855 not makeG4160 the insideG2081 alsoG2532? 41But 4giveG1325 that which isG1751 withinG1751 as a charitableG1654 giftG1654, and 5thenG2400 allG3956 thingsG3956 are 6cleanG2513 for you.

42“7But woeG3759 to you PhariseesG5330! For you 8payG586 tithesG586 of mintG2238, rueG4076, and everyG3956 kind of gardenG3001 herbG3001, and yet you 9ignoreG3928 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 10loveG25 the seatG4410 ofG4410 honorG4410 in the synagoguesG4864 and personalG783 greetingsG783 in the marketplacesG58. 4411WoeG3759 to you! For you are likeG5613 12unseenG82 tombsG3419, and the peopleG444 who walkG4043 overG1883 them are unawareG3756G3609 of it.”

45OneG5100 of the 1314lawyersG3544 saidG3004 to Him inG611 replyG611, “TeacherG1320, when You sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, You insultG5195 us tooG2532.” 46But He saidG3004, “WoeG3759 to you 15lawyersG3544 asG2532 wellG2532! For 16you loadG5412 peopleG444 with burdensG5413 that are hardG1419 toG1419 bearG1419, 17whileG2532 you yourselvesG846 will not even 18touchG4379 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of your fingersG1147. 4719WoeG3759 to you! For you buildG3618 the 20tombsG3419 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 21tombs. 49For thisG3778 reasonG1223 alsoG2532, 22the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 saidG3004, ‘23I will sendG649 them prophetsG4396 and apostlesG652, and some of them they will killG615, and some they will 24persecuteG1377, 50soG2443 thatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, shedG1632 25sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be chargedG1567 26againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074, 51from 27the bloodG129 of AbelG6 to 28the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, who was killedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 and the houseG3624 of God; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, it shall be chargedG1567 29againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074.’ 52WoeG3759 to you 3031lawyersG3544! For you have takenG142 awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108; 32you yourselvesG846 did not enterG1525, and you hinderedG2967 thoseG3588 who were enteringG1525.”
