Luke 11:37-52

³⁷And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.

³⁸And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.

³⁹And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity.

⁴⁰Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make also that which is within?

⁴¹But yet that which remaineth, give alms; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴²But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb; and pass over judgment, and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the marketplace.

⁴⁴Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not, and men that walk over are not aware.

⁴⁵And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying these things, thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear, and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them.

⁴⁸Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchres.

⁴⁹For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute.

⁵⁰That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

⁵¹From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the alter and the temple: Yea I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.

⁵²Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered in, and those that were entering in, you have hindered.
