Luke 11:42-52

“But woe   to you Pharisees! You give a tenth   , of mint, rue, and every kind of herb, and you bypass   justice   and love for God.   , These things you should have done without neglecting the others. “Woe to you Pharisees! You love the front seat   in the synagogues   and greetings in the marketplaces. “Woe to you!   You are like unmarked graves;   the people who walk over them don’t know it.” One of the experts in the law  answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things you insult us too.” Then he said, “Woe also to you experts in the law! You load people with burdens   that are hard to carry, and yet you yourselves don’t touch these burdens with one of your fingers.   “Woe to you! You build tombs   for the prophets,   and your fathers killed   them. Therefore, you are witnesses   that you approve   , the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their monuments.   Because of this, the wisdom of God   said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles,   and some of them they will kill and persecute,’   so that this generation   may be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world   , —  from the blood of Abel   to the blood of Zechariah,   who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. “Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible.   “Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key to knowledge.   You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered   those who were trying to go in.”
