Luqas (Luke) 11:29-54

And while the crowds were thronging, He began to say, “This generation is wicked. It seeks a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Yonah the prophet. “For as Yonah became a sign to the Ninewites, so also the Son of Aḏam shall be to this generation. “The sovereigness of the South shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and shall condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelomoh, and look, a greater than Shelomoh is here. “The men of Ninewĕh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Yonah, and look, a greater than Yonah is here. “And no one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in shall see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, all your body also is enlightened. But when your eye is evil, your body also is darkened. “See to it therefore that the light which is in you is not darkness. “If then all your body is enlightened, having no part dark, all shall be enlightened, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.” And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him, so He went in and sat down to eat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that He did not first wash before dinner. And the Master said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is filled with greed and wickedness. “Mindless ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? “But give in kindness of that which is within, and see, all are clean to you. “But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe the mint and the rue and every plant, and pass by the right-ruling and the love of Elohim. These you should have done, without leaving the others undone. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the best seats in the congregations and the greetings in the market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are like the unseen tombs, and the men walking over them do not know. And one of those learned in the Torah, answering, said to Him, “Teacher, when You say this You insult us too.” And He said, “Woe to you also, you learned in the Torah, because you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. “Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. “So you bear witness that you approve of the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. “And because of this the wisdom of Elohim said, ‘I shall send them prophets and emissaries, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,’ so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world shall be required of this generation, from the blood of Heḇel to the blood of Zeḵaryah who perished between the slaughter-place and the Dwelling Place. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation. “Woe to you learned in the Torah, because you took away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.” And as He was saying this to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose Him fiercely, and to draw Him out on many subjects, watching Him, and seeking to catch Him in whatever He says, so as to accuse Him.
