39 And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your interior is full of plundering and wickedness.
40 Ye foolish men, did not he who made the outside also make the inside?
41 But give compassion, things that are inside, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! Because ye tithe mint and rue and every plant, and pass by justice and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things, and not to neglect those things.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! Because ye love the place of honor in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Woe to you scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye are like the unseen sepulchers, and the men who walk over them do not know.
45 And having answered, a certain man of the lawyers says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou rebuke us also.
46 And he said, Woe also to you lawyers! Because ye load men with burdens difficult to bear, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! Because ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48 Consequently, ye testify and approve the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 Because of this also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them prophets and apostles. And some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 so that the blood of all the prophets that was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it will be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.
53 And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things,
54 waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.
