28 But he said, "Yea, happy are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
29 When the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil nation. They seek a sign, and there shall no sign be given them, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the son of man be to this nation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise at the judgment, with the men of this generation, and condemn them. For she came from the end of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise at the judgment, with this generation, and shall condemn them: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah: And behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 "No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a privy place, neither under a bushel: But on a candlestick, that they that come in, may see the light.
34 The light of thy body is the eye. Therefore, when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evil: then shall all thy body also be full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee, be not darkness.
36 For if all thy body shall be light, having no part dark: then shall all be full of light, even as when a candle doeth light thee with his brightness."
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 When the Pharisee saw that, he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said to him, "Now do ye, O Pharisees, make clean the outside of the cup, and of the platter: but your inward parts are full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools: did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
41 Nevertheless, ye give alms of that ye have, and behold: all is clean to you.
42 But woe be to you Pharisees: for ye tithe the mint, and rue, and all manner herbs; and pass over judgment, and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and yet not to have left the other undone.
43 Woe be to you Pharisees: for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are as graves which appear not; And the men that walk over them, are not aware of them."
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, "Master, thus saying, thou puttest us to rebuke also."
46 Then he said, "Woe be to you also ye lawyers: for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers.
47 Woe be to you that build the sepulchers of the prophets: for your fathers killed them:
48 Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 "Therefore said the wisdom of God: I will send them prophets and apostles, and of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation.
52 Woe be to you lawyers: for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and them that came in ye forbade."
53 When he thus spake unto them, the lawyers and the Pharisees began to wax busy about him, and to stop his mouth with many questions;
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.
