Luke 11:21-54

21WhenG3752 a strong manG2478 armedG2528 keepethG5442 hisG833 palaceG1438, hisG846 goodsG5224 areG2076 inG1722 peaceG1515: 22ButG1161 whenG1875 a strongerG2478 than heG846 shall come upon himG1904, and overcomeG3528 himG846, he takethG142 from himG846 all his armourG3833 inG1909 whichG3739 he trustedG3982, andG2532 dividethG1239 hisG846 spoilsG4661. 23He that isG5607 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 isG2076 againstG2596 meG1700: andG2532 he that gatherethG4863 notG3361 withG3326 meG1700 scatterethG4650. 24WhenG3752 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151 is goneG1831 out ofG575 a manG444, he walkethG1330 throughG1223 dryG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372; andG2532 findingG2147 noneG3361, he saithG3004, I will returnG5290 toG1519 myG3450 houseG3624 from whichG3606 I came outG1831. 25AndG2532 when he comethG2064, he findethG2147 it sweptG4563 andG2532 garnishedG2885. 26ThenG5119 he goethG4198, andG2532 takethG3880 to him sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 more wickedG4191 than himselfG1438; andG2532 they enter inG1525, and dwellG2730 thereG1563: andG2532 the lastG2078 state of thatG1565 manG444 isG1096 worseG5501 than the firstG4413.

27AndG1161 it came to passG1096, asG1722 heG846 spokeG3004 these thingsG5023, a certainG5100 womanG1135 ofG1537 the companyG3793 lifted upG1869 her voiceG5456, and saidG2036 to himG846, BlessedG3107 is the wombG2836 that boreG941 theeG4571, andG2532 the breastsG3149 whichG3739 nourished theeG2337. 28ButG1161 heG846 saidG2036, Yea ratherG3304, blessedG3107 are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5442 itG846.

29AndG1161 when the peopleG3793 were thickly gathered togetherG1865, he beganG756 to sayG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 an evilG4190 generationG1074: they seekG1934 a signG4592; andG2532 there shallG1325 noG3756 signG4592 be givenG1325 to itG846, butG1508 the signG4592 of JonahG2495 the prophetG4396. 30ForG1063 asG2531 JonahG2495 wasG1096 a signG4592 to the NinevitesG3536, soG3779 also shallG2071G2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071 to thisG5026 generationG1074. 31The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 the menG435 of thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 condemnG2632 themG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the utmost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of NinevehG3535 shall rise upG450 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 they repentedG3340 atG1519 the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 33No manG3762, when he hath lightedG681 a lampG3088, puttethG5087 it inG1519 a secret placeG2926, neitherG3761 underG5259 a basketG3426, butG235 onG1909 a lampstandG3087, thatG2443 they whoG3588 come inG1531 may seeG991 the lightG5338. 34The lampG3088 of the bodyG4983 isG2076 the eyeG3788: thereforeG3767 whenG1875 thyG4675 eyeG3788 isG5600 clearG573, thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG2076 full of lightG5460; butG1161 whenG3752 thy eye isG5600 badG4190, thyG4675 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 is full of darknessG4652. 35Take heedG4648 thereforeG3767 that the lightG5457 whichG3588 is inG1722 theeG4671 beG2076 notG3361 darknessG4655. 36IfG1487 thyG4675 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 thereforeG3767 be full of lightG5460, havingG2192 noG3361G5100 partG3313 darkG4652, the wholeG3650 shall beG2071 full of lightG5460, asG5613 whenG3752 the bright shiningG796 of a lampG3088 doth giveG5461 theeG4571 lightG5461.1

37AndG1161 asG1722 he was speakingG2980, a certainG5100 PhariseeG5330 besoughtG2065 himG846 toG3704 dineG709 withG3844 himG846: andG1161 he went inG1525, and sat down to eatG377. 38AndG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 sawG1492 it, he marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he hadG907 notG3756 firstG4412 washedG907 beforeG4253 dinnerG712. 39AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 toG4314 himG846, NowG3568 doG2511 yeG5210 PhariseesG5330 make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 the platterG4094; butG1161 yourG5216 inward partG2081 is fullG1073 of greedG724 andG2532 wickednessG4189. 40Ye foolsG878, didG4160 notG3756 he that madeG4160 that whichG3588 is withoutG1855 makeG4160 that whichG3588 is withinG2081 alsoG2532? 41But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG2076 cleanG2513 to youG5213.2 42ButG235 woeG3759 to youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG2238 andG2532 rueG4076 andG2532 all mannerG3956 of herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 justiceG2920 andG2532 the loveG26 of GodG2316: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the othersG2548 undoneG863. 43WoeG3759 to youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye loveG25 the best seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG58. 44WoeG3759 to youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye areG2075 asG5613 gravesG3419 whichG3588 appear notG82, andG2532 the menG444 that walkG4043 overG1883 them areG1492 notG3756 awareG1492 of them . 45ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 to himG846, MasterG1320, thusG5023 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG2248 alsoG2532. 46AndG1161 he saidG2036, WoeG3759 to youG5213 alsoG2532, ye lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye loadG5412 menG444 with burdensG5413 grievous to be borneG1419, andG2532 ye yourselvesG846 touchG4379 notG3756 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of yourG5216 fingersG1147. 47WoeG3759 to youG5213! forG3754 ye buildG3618 the sepulchresG3419 of the prophetsG4396, andG1161 yourG5216 fathersG3962 killedG615 themG846. 48TrulyG686 ye bear witnessG3140 thatG2532 ye allowG4909 the deedsG2041 of yourG5216 fathersG3962: forG3754 theyG846 indeedG3303 killedG615 themG846, andG1161 yeG5210 buildG3618 theirG846 sepulchresG3419. 49ThereforeG1223G5124 alsoG2532 saidG2036 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316, I will sendG649G1519 themG846 prophetsG4396 andG2532 apostlesG652, andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 they shall slayG615 andG2532 persecuteG1559: 50ThatG2443 the bloodG129 of allG3956 the prophetsG4396, whichG3588 was shedG1632 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074; 51FromG575 the bloodG129 of AbelG6 toG2193 the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, whoG3588 perishedG622 betweenG3342 the altarG2379 andG2532 the templeG3624: verilyG3483 I sayG3004 to youG5213, It shall be requiredG1567 ofG575 thisG5026 generationG1074. 52WoeG3759 to youG5213, lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye have taken awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108: ye have not enteredG1525G3756 inG1525 yourselvesG846, andG2532 them that were entering inG1525 ye hinderedG2967.3 53AndG1161 as heG846 saidG3004 these thingsG5023 toG4314 themG846, the scribesG1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 beganG756 to opposeG1758 him vehementlyG1171, andG2532 to provokeG653 himG846 to speakG653 ofG4012 many thingsG4119: 54Laying wait forG1748 himG846, andG2532 seekingG2212 to catchG2340 somethingG5100 fromG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750, thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846.
