Luke 11:39-52

39But the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

40Fools! Didn’t He who created the outside also create the inside?

41But give as tzadakah those things that are within, and indeed everything is pure to you.

42“But woe to you Pharisees, for you tithe mint, rue, and every garden herb, yet bypass justice and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things without neglecting the others.

43Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

44Woe to you, for you are like unmarked tombs, and people walk over them without knowing.”

45But answering, one of the Torah lawyers says to Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us too.”

46Then Yeshua said, “Woe to you Torah lawyers as well, for you weigh the people down with burdens hard to carry, yet you yourselves will not touch the burdens with even a finger.

47“Woe to you, for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your own fathers killed!

48So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers, for indeed they killed them and you are building their tombs.

49“For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and emissaries, and some of them they will kill and persecute,

50so that the blood of the prophets shed since the foundation of the world might be required from this generation—

51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the one who perished between the altar and the house of God. Yes, I tell you, it will be required from this generation.’

52“Woe to you, Torah lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter, and you stood in the way of those entering.”
