37 Now, in His speaking, a certain Pharisee is asking Him so that He should be lunching with him. Now entering, He leans back at table."
38 Now the Pharisee, perceiving it, marvels that He is not first baptized before luncheon."
39 Yet the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees are cleansing the outside of the cup and the platter, yet your inside is brimming with rapacity and wickedness."
40 Imprudent ones! Does not He Who makes the outside also make the inside?
41 However, what is within be giving as alms, and lo! all is clean to you."
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for you are taking tithes from mint and rue and all greens, and you are passing by judging and the love of God. Now these it was binding for you to do and not to be devoid of those."
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! seeing that you are loving the front seat in the synagogues and the salutations in the markets."
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are as the obscure tombs, and the men who are walking upon them are not aware of it."
45 Now, answering, a certain one of those learned in the law is saying to Him, "Teacher, saying these things, us also are you outraging."
46 Yet He said, "To you who are learned in the law, also, woe! for you are loading men with loads hard to bear, and you yourselves are not grazing the loads with one of your fingers."
47 Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets, yet your fathers kill them."
