Luke 11:37-47

Williams(i) 37 When He had said this, a Pharisee asked Him to lunch at his house, and He went in and took His place at table. 38 The Pharisee noticed that He did not first wash before lunch, and was surprised. 39 But the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees have the habit of cleaning the outside of your cups and dishes, but inside you yourselves are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside too? 41 But dedicate once for all your inner self, and at once you will have everything clean. 42 But a curse on you Pharisees, because you pay tithes on mint, rue, and every tiny garden herb, but neglect justice and the love of God! These latter especially you ought to have done, but ought not to have neglected the former. 43 A curse on you Pharisees, because you like to have the front seats in synagogues, and to be greeted with honor in public places! 44 A curse on you, because you are like unmarked graves which men walk over without knowing it!" 45 Then an expert in the law interrupted Him and said, "Teacher, in saying this you are insulting us, too." 46 He said, "Yes, a curse on you experts in the law, too, because you load people down with loads too heavy to carry, and yet you do not touch the loads yourselves with one of your fingers! 47 A curse on you, because you build monuments for the prophets, whom your forefathers killed!
