28 But he said, Yea, rather blessed are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.
29 And the multitudes being gathered thick together, he said, This is an evil generation: it seeketh a sign; but no sign shall be given it, save the sign of Jonah.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
33 No man having lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
34 The eye is the lamp of the body: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body is full of light, but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore, left the light that is in thee be darkness.
36 If then thy whole body be full of light, not having any part dark, the whole shall be as full of light, as when a lamp enlightens thee with its bright shining.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him.
38 And he went in and sat down to table. But the Pharisee seeing it, marvelled, that he had not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said to him,
39 Now ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the dish; but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness.
40 Ye unthinking men, did not he that made the outside, make the inside also?
41 But give what is in them in alms, and behold all things are clean to you.
42 But wo to you, Pharisees; for ye tythe mint and rue and all herbs; and pass by justice and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Wo to you, Pharisees; for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues,
44 and salutations in the markets. Wo to you; for ye are as graves which appear not, and men that walk over them are not aware.
45 And one of the lawyers answering said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Wo to you lawyers also; for ye load men with burthens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burthens with one of your fingers.
47 Wo to you; for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets; whom your fathers killed.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye approve the deeds of your fathers: for whom they killed, ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay, and persecute the rest.
50 So that the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world, shall be required of this generation.
51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was destroyed between the temple and the altar: verily I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you, lawyers; for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves; and them that were entering in, ye have hindered.
53 And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fiercely to fasten upon him, and to urge him to speak of many things,
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
