Luke 11:42-52

English Standard Version

^42 (A)“But woe to you Pharisees! For ^(B)you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect ^(C)justice and ^(D)the love of God. ^(E)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. ⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For ^(F)you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. ⁴⁴ Woe to you! ^(G)For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”

⁴⁵ One of ^(H)the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” ⁴⁶ And he said, “Woe to you ^(I)lawyers also! For ^(J)you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. ^47 (K)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. ^48 (L)So you are witnesses and you ^(M)consent to the deeds of ^(N)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ Therefore also ^(O)the Wisdom of God said, ^(P)‘I will send them ^(Q)prophets and apostles, ^(R)some of whom they will ^(S)kill and persecute,’ ⁵⁰ so that ^(T)the blood of all the prophets, shed ^(U)from the foundation of the world, may be ^(V)charged against this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of ^(W)Abel to the blood of ^(X)Zechariah, who perished between ^(Y)the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be ^(Z)required of this generation. ⁵² Woe to you ^(AA)lawyers! ^(AB)For you have taken away the key of ^(AC)knowledge. You ^(AD)did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
