Luke 11:39-49

³⁹But the Lord said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of cups and bowls, but the inside of you is filled with greed and evil.

⁴⁰You senseless men! Did not the one who made the outside also make the inside?

⁴¹Give to the poor what is inside, and then all things will be clean for you.

⁴²But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every other garden herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. It is necessary to act justly and love God, without failing to do the other things also.

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

⁴⁴Woe to you, for you are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing it.”

⁴⁵One of the teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, what you say insults us too.”

⁴⁶Jesus said, “Woe to you, teachers of the law! For you put people under burdens that are hard to carry, but you do not touch the burdens with one of your own fingers.

⁴⁷Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them.

⁴⁸So you are witnesses and you consent to the works of your ancestors, for they indeed killed them and you build their tombs.

⁴⁹For this reason also, God's wisdom said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and they will persecute and kill some of them.'
