28 He said to her: Blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when multitudes were assembled, he began to say: This evil generation seeketh a sign; and no sign will be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
31 The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; for she came from the other side of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one superior to Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo, one superior to Jonah is here.
33 No one lighteth a lamp, and putteth it in a secret place, or under a bushel, but upon a light-stand; that they who come in, may see its light.
34 The lamp of thy body is thy eye. Therefore, when thy eye is sound, thy whole body will be enlightened; but if it be bad, thy body also will be dark.
35 See to it, therefore, lest the light that is in thee, be darkness.
36 For if thy whole body be enlightened, and no part in it be dark, the whole will be luminous, as if a lamp enlightened thee by its radiance.
37 And while he was speaking, a certain Pharisee requested him to dine with him: and he went in, and reclined.
38 And the Pharisee noticing him, wondered that he did not previously baptize before dinner.
39 And Jesus said to him: Now ye Pharisees make clean the exterior of the cup and the dish; but your interior is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior?
41 But, give ye alms from what ye possess; and lo, every thing will be clean to you.
42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and every pot-herb; but pass over justice and the love of God. Now ye ought to do these things, and not to omit those.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! who love the chief seats in the synagogues, and a salutation in the streets.
44 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like graves that are unknown, and men walk over them and do not know it.
45 And one of the Scribes replied, and said to him: Teacher, while saying these things, thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said: Woe to you also! ye Scribes, who lade men with heavy burdens; yet ye yourselves will not touch those burdens with one of your fingers
47 Woe to you! who build the sepulchres of the prophets, whom your fathers slew.
48 Thus ye testify, that ye acquiesce in the deeds of your fathers; for they slew them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore hath wisdom said: Lo, I will send to them prophets and legates; and some of them they will persecute and slay;
50 that from this generation may be required, the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed since the world was created;
51 from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zachariah who was slain between the temple and the altar. Yea, say I to you: It will be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder.
53 And when he had said these things to them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to be offended, and became angry, and carped at his discourses,
54 and practised many wiles upon him, seeking to catch some thing from his lips, that they might accuse him.
