Context of Luke 11:45

43Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. 44Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them . Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. 46And he said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. 47Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
