LUKE 42- 54: But woe to you Pharisees! for you tax mint
and rue and every herb, and 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
best seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market places. [44] Woe to you! for you are like graves which
are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it." [45] One
of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you reproach us
also." [46] And he said, "Woe
to you lawyers also! for 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! for you build the tombs of
the prophets whom your fathers killed. [48]
So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed
them, and you build their tombs. [49]
Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles,
some of whom they will kill and persecute,' [50] that the blood of all the prophets, shed
from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, [51] from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah,
who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be
required of this generation. [52] Woe to
you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter
yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." [53] As
he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard,
and to provoke him to speak of many things, [54] lying in wait for him, to catch at
something he might say.
