Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41But now as for what is inside you&#8212;be generous to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.</div><div class="p"> 42 &#8220;Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.</div><div class="p"> 43 &#8220;Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.</div><div class="p"> 44 &#8220;Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 45One of the experts in the law answered him, &#8220;Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 46Jesus replied, &#8220;And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.</div><div class="p"> 47 &#8220;Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49Because of this, God in his wisdom said, &#8216;I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.&#8217; 50Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.</div><div class="p"> 52 &#8220;Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 53When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54waiting to catch him in something he might say.</div>
