  • Luke 11:37-54 : 37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table. 38 But the Pharisee was astonished to see that Jesus did not wash before the meal. 39 Then the Lord said to him, 'Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not the one who made the outside also make the inside? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.' 42 But woe to you Pharisees! For you give a tenth of mint, rue, and every herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the seats of honor in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

You load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you yourselves do not touch these burdens with even one finger.' 47 Woe to you! For you build tombs for the prophets, yet it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles; some they will kill, and others they will persecute.' 50 So that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation— 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation. 52 Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key to knowledge.
