Luke 11:41-47 in English

⁴¹ But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴² But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not.

⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴² But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe unto 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.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴² But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe unto 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.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ Howbeit give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴² But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not.

⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Master, in saying this thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ Give money to those who are poor. Give according to what you know within your ◄inner beings /hearts ► that you should give. Then you will be surprised to realize that you will be acceptable to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing.

⁴² But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of all you produce, even the various herbs that you grow, but you do not remember that you must act justly toward others and love God! It is good to give a tenth of your income to God, but you ought to do these other things also!

⁴³ There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like to sit in the best seats in our worship places so that people will think highly of you, and you like people to greet you respectfully in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker to indicate that there is a grave underneath. People walk there, but they cannot see what is rotten down below MET! Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves.”

⁴⁵ One of those who taught the Jewish laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you (sg) are criticizing us also!”

⁴⁶ Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the Jewish laws! You require people to obey many rules that are difficult to obey MET. That is like making them carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws that you require others to obey. (OR, you do not do anything to help others to obey the laws.)

⁴⁷ There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, but you do not live according to what the prophets taught.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you.

⁴² But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

⁴³ A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.

⁴⁴ A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

⁴⁵ And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.

⁴⁶ And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

⁴⁷ A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

⁴² But woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the judgment and the love of God: these ye ought to have done, and not have left those aside.

⁴³ Woe unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market-places.

⁴⁴ Woe unto you, for ye are as the sepulchres which appear not, and the men walking over them do not know it.

⁴⁵ And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.

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

⁴² But 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.

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

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

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

⁴⁶ But 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.

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

⁴¹ Nevertheless give what is inside as alms; and see, all things are clean to you.

⁴² “But woe to you Pharisees! Because you pay a tithe of mint and rue and every vegetable, and you pass over justice and the love of God. These things you ought to have done, and not have neglected the others.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! Because you love the first seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you are like unmarked graves, and the men walking over them do not know it.”

⁴⁵ Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You insult us also.”

⁴⁶ And He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! Because you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! Because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ Nevertheless, give what is possible as alms; then indeed all things are clean to you.

⁴² “But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”

⁴⁵ Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”

⁴⁶ So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! You restore the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.

⁴¹ If, acting from within, you do acts of kindness to others, then everything will be clean to you.

⁴² Shame on you Pharisees! You pay tithe on herbs and plants, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You need to pay attention to the latter, while not leaving the former things undone.

⁴³ Shame on you Pharisees! You love to have the best seats in the synagogues, and to be greeted with respect when you go to the markets.

⁴⁴ Shame on you! You are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing.”

⁴⁵ One of the experts in religious law reacted, saying, “Teacher, when you talk like this, you're insulting us too!”

⁴⁶ Jesus replied, “Shame on you lawyers too! You place burdens on people that are too hard to carry, but you don't lift a finger to help them.

⁴⁷ Shame on you! You build memorial tombs to honor the prophets, but it was your own fathers who killed them in the first place!

⁴¹ Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you.

⁴² But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.

⁴³ Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.

⁴⁶ And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of such things as you have; and behold, all things are clean unto you.

⁴² But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

⁴³ Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe unto 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.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give what they contain in alms, and lo! all is clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, for ye are as tombs which are unseen, and men walking over them know it not.

⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also.

⁴⁶ And he said, To you lawyers also, woe! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.

⁴² But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practise without neglecting the first.

⁴³ Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.

⁴⁴ Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”

⁴⁵ Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”

⁴⁶ But Jesus went on, “Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.

⁴¹ Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.

⁴² But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.

⁴³ Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.

⁴⁴ Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”

⁴⁵ Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”

⁴⁶ But Jesus went on, “Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.

⁴⁷ Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees Separated! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s agape ·unconditional love·. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees Separated! For you have agapao ·totally devoted love· towards the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees Separated, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ The right way is like this. You have to think in your heads about poor people and you have to be sorry for them, and you have to give them the things they need. Then God will say that you are clean, on the inside as well as on the outside.

⁴² You mob follow God’s law that says you have to give him a little bit of everything you get. That little bit is one part out of every 10, and we call it a tithe. You do that for everything you get, even the little plants that grow in your garden. But you don’t do the important things that God wants everyone to do. So God will make trouble for you Pharisee mob. You see, you have to be fair to other people, and you have to love God. These are the important things that you have to do, and then you can keep on giving God a proper tithe.

⁴³ Yes, God will make trouble for you Pharisee mob. You try to get people to think you are important. Whenever you go to a meeting place you want the good seats that are for important people. And whenever you walk around the shopping places you want people to say hello to you in a good way, the way they talk to important people.

⁴⁴ So God will make trouble for you mob. You are like graves that nobody marked. People walk on that ground, but they don’t know that there is a dead body under their feet. You are like that. You get people to think you are good, and they don’t know that you are bad on the inside.”

⁴⁵ Then a Jewish law teacher said to Jesus, “Hey, Teacher, you are saying bad things about us, too.”

⁴⁶ Jesus said, “That’s right, you mob are just as bad, and God will make trouble for you law teachers too. You make a lot of hard rules, and you make people follow all those rules. You are too hard on people. It is like you are making them carry a really heavy load. But you don’t help them at all. You don’t even move one of your fingers to help them.

⁴⁷ Yes, God will make trouble for you law teacher mob. A long time ago, your grand-fathers killed the men that told everyone God’s messages, and they buried them. And now, you mob put pretty little stone buildings there to remember the place where they buried them.

⁴¹ Neverthelesse geve almose of that ye have and beholde all is clene to you.

⁴² But wo be to you Pharises for ye tithe the mynt and rewe and all manner erbes and passe over iudgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done and yet not to have left the other vndone.

⁴³ Wo be to you Pharises: for ye love the vppermost seates in the synagoges and gretinges in the markets.

⁴⁴ Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites for ye are as graves which appere not, and the men that walke over them, are not ware of them.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawears and sayd vnto him: Master thus sayinge thou puttest vs to rebuke also.

⁴⁶ Then he sayde: Wo be to you also ye lawears: for ye lade men with burthens greveous to be borne and ye youre selves touche not the packes with one of youre fyngers.

⁴⁷ Wo be to you: ye bylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes and youre fathers killed them:

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

⁴² But 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.

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

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

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

⁴⁶ Jesus 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.

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

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.

⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

⁴⁴ Woe 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 .

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.

⁴⁶ And 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.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

⁴⁵ One of the Torah scholars answered him, “Rabbi, in saying this you insult us also.”

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you Torah scholars also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

⁴¹ Nevertheless that that is over-plus, or superfluous, give ye alms, and lo! all things be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees, that tithe mint, and rue, and each herb, and leave doom and the charity of God. For it behooved to do these things, and not to leave those.

⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees, that love the first chairs in synagogues, and salutations in chapping.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, that be as sepulchres, that be not seen or which appear not, and men walking above know not.

⁴⁵ But one of the wise men of the law answered, and said to him, Master, thou saying these things, also to us doest despite or doest despite also to us.

⁴⁶ And he said, Also woe to you, wise men of the law, for ye charge men with burdens which they may not bear, and ye yourselves with your one finger touch not the heavinesses.

⁴⁷ Woe to you, that build tombs or the burials of prophets; and your fathers slew them.

⁴¹ Nevertheless that that is over-plus, or superfluous, give ye alms, and lo! all things be clean to you.

⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees, that tithe mint, and rue, and each herb, and leave doom and the charity of God (or and pass over the judgement and the love of God). For it behooved to do these things, and not to leave those (others).

⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees, that love the first chairs in synagogues, and salutations in chapping. (Woe to you, Pharisees, who love the first chairs in the synagogues, and greetings of respect at the marketplace.)

⁴⁴ Woe to you, that be as sepulchres (or who be like graves), that be not seen or which appear not, and men walking above know not.

⁴⁵ But one of the wise men of the law answered, and said to him, Master, thou saying these things, also to us doest despite or doest despite also to us. (But one of the men wise in the Law said to him, Teacher, thou saying these things, doest disrespect to us, or insultest us.)

⁴⁶ And he said, Also woe to you, wise men of the law, for ye charge men with burdens which they may not bear, and ye yourselves with your one finger touch not the heavinesses. (And he said, And woe to you, men wise in the Law, for ye load men with burdens which they cannot bear, but ye yourselves touch not the heavinesses with even one finger.)

⁴⁷ Woe to you, that build (the) tombs or the burials of (the) prophets; and your fathers slew them.

⁴¹ Netheles that that is ouer plus, yyue ye almes, and lo! alle thingis ben cleene to you.

⁴² But wo to you, Farisees, that tithen mynte, and rue, and ech eerbe, and leeuen doom and the charite of God. For it bihofte to do these thingis, and not leeue tho.

⁴³ Wo to you, Farisees, that louen the firste chaieris in synagogis, and salutaciouns in chepyng.

⁴⁴ Wo to you, that ben as sepulcris, that ben not seyn, and men walkynge aboue witen not.

⁴⁵ But oon of the wise men of the lawe answeride, and seide to hym, Maystir, thou seiynge these thingis, also to vs doist dispit.

⁴⁶ And he seide, Also wo to you, wise men of lawe, for ye chargen men with birthuns which thei moun not bere, and ye you silf with youre o fyngur touchen not the heuynessis.

⁴⁷ Wo to you, that bilden toumbis of profetis; and youre fadris slowen hem.

⁴¹ But what ye have give ye as alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.
