Luke 11:37-54 365D 77.1
37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 365D 77.2
38 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner. 365D 77.3
39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of [k] greed and wickedness. 365D 77.4
40 Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? 365D 77.5
41 But rather give alms of [l] such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you. 365D 77.6
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 365D 77.7
43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the [m] best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 365D 77.8
44 Woe to you, [n] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them. ” 365D 77.9
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.” 365D 77.10
46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 365D 77.11
47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 365D 77.12
48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 365D 77.13
49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 365D 77.14
50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 365D 77.15
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation. 365D 77.16
52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.” 365D 77.17
53 [o] And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 365D 77.18
54 lying in wait for Him, [p] and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, [q] that they might accuse Him. 365D 77.19
