Luke 11:42-52

42“1But woeG3759 to you PhariseesG5330! For you 2payG586 tithesG586 of mintG2238, rueG4076, and everyG3956 kind of gardenG3001 herbG3001, and yet you 3ignoreG3928 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 4loveG25 the seatG4410 ofG4410 honorG4410 in the synagoguesG4864 and personalG783 greetingsG783 in the marketplacesG58. 445WoeG3759 to you! For you are likeG5613 6unseenG82 tombsG3419, and the peopleG444 who walkG4043 overG1883 them are unawareG3756G3609 of it.”

45OneG5100 of the 78lawyersG3544 saidG3004 to Him inG611 replyG611, “TeacherG1320, when You sayG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, You insultG5195 us tooG2532.” 46But He saidG3004, “WoeG3759 to you 9lawyersG3544 asG2532 wellG2532! For 10you loadG5412 peopleG444 with burdensG5413 that are hardG1419 toG1419 bearG1419, 11whileG2532 you yourselvesG846 will not even 12touchG4379 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of your fingersG1147. 4713WoeG3759 to you! For you buildG3618 the 14tombsG3419 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 15tombs. 49For thisG3778 reasonG1223 alsoG2532, 16the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316 saidG3004, ‘17I will sendG649 them prophetsG4396 and apostlesG652, and some of them they will killG615, and some they will 18persecuteG1377, 50soG2443 thatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, shedG1632 19sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be chargedG1567 20againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074, 51from 21the bloodG129 of AbelG6 to 22the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, who was killedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 and the houseG3624 of God; yesG3483, I tellG3004 you, it shall be chargedG1567 23againstG575 thisG3778 generationG1074.’ 52WoeG3759 to you 2425lawyersG3544! For you have takenG142 awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108; 26you yourselvesG846 did not enterG1525, and you hinderedG2967 thoseG3588 who were enteringG1525.”
