Herrens bön
11 En gång var Jesus på en plats och bad. När han hade slutat sin bön, sade en av hans lärjungar till honom: "Herre, lär oss att be, liksom Johannes lärde sina lärjungar." 2 Då sade han till dem: "När ni ber skall ni säga:
Fader, helgat blive ditt namn.
Komme ditt rike.
3 Ge oss var dag vårt bröd
för dagen.
4 Och förlåt oss våra synder,
ty också vi förlåter var och en
som står i skuld till oss.
Och för oss inte in i frestelse."
Uthållig bön
5 Han sade till dem: "Om någon av er har en vän och går till honom mitt i natten och säger: Käre vän, låna mig tre bröd. 6 En vän som är på resa har kommit till mig, och jag har ingenting att sätta fram åt honom, 7 - vem av er skulle då inifrån huset få till svar: Låt mig vara i fred. Dörren är redan stängd, och mina barn och jag har gått och lagt oss. Jag kan inte stiga upp och ge dig något. 8 Jag säger er: Även om han inte stiger upp och ger honom något för att det är hans vän, så kommer han att stiga upp och ge honom allt vad han behöver för att inte själv bli utskämd.[a]
9 Jag säger er: Be och ni skall få, sök och ni skall finna, bulta och dörren skall öppnas för er. 10 Ty var och en som ber, han får, och den som söker, han finner, och för den som bultar skall dörren öppnas. 11 Finns det bland er någon far som skulle ge sin son en orm när han ber om en fisk, 12 eller en skorpion när han ber om ett ägg? 13 Om ni som är onda förstår att ge era barn goda gåvor, hur mycket mer skall då inte er Fader i himlen ge den helige Ande åt dem som ber honom?"
Jesus eller Beelsebul
14 Jesus drev vid ett tillfälle ut en ond ande som var stum. När den onde anden hade farit ut, talade den stumme, och folket förundrade sig. 15 Men några av dem sade: "Det är med hjälp av Beelsebul,[b] de onda andarnas furste, som han driver ut de onda andarna." 16 Andra ville snärja honom och begärde av honom ett tecken från himlen. 17 Men han visste vad de tänkte och sade till dem: "Ett rike som har kommit i strid med sig självt blir ödelagt, och hus faller på hus. 18 Om nu Satan har kommit i strid med sig själv, hur kan då hans rike bestå? Ni säger att det är med hjälp av Beelsebul som jag driver ut de onda andarna. 19 Men om det är med hjälp av Beelsebul som jag driver ut de onda andarna, med vems hjälp driver då era söner ut dem? De kommer därför att vara era domare. 20 Men om det är med Guds finger jag driver ut de onda andarna, då har Guds rike kommit till er. 21 När den starke beväpnad vaktar sin gård får hans ägodelar vara i fred. 22 Men kommer det en som är ännu starkare och besegrar honom, då tar den mannen ifrån honom alla vapen som han litade på och fördelar bytet. 23 Den som inte är med mig är emot mig, och den som inte samlar med mig, han skingrar.
En ond andes återkomst
24 När en oren ande har farit ut ur en människa, vandrar han genom ökentrakter för att leta efter en viloplats. Men om han inte finner någon tänker han: Jag vill vända tillbaka till mitt hus som jag lämnade. 25 När han så kommer och finner det städat och pyntat, 26 ger han sig av och tar med sig sju andra andar som är värre än han själv, och de går in och bor där. För den människan blir det sista värre än det första."
27 Då Jesus sade detta, ropade en kvinna i folkskaran: "Saligt är det moderliv som har burit dig och saliga de bröst som du har diat." 28 Han sade: "Säg hellre: Saliga är de som lyssnar till Guds ord och bevarar det."
Jonas tecken
29 Då folk strömmade till, sade Jesus: "Detta släkte är ett ont släkte. Det begär ett tecken, men det skall inte få något annat än Jonas tecken. 30 Ty liksom Jona var ett tecken för folket i Nineve, så skall Människosonen vara det för detta släkte. 31 Drottningen av Söderlandet skall vid domen träda upp mot detta släkte och bli det till dom. Ty hon kom från jordens yttersta gräns för att lyssna till Salomos vishet. Och se, här är mer än Salomo. 32 Män från Nineve skall vid domen träda upp mot detta släkte och bli det till dom. Ty de omvände sig vid Jonas predikan. Och se, här är mer än Jona.
Ögat är kroppens lykta
33 Ingen tänder ett ljus och ställer det på en undangömd plats eller under skäppan, utan man sätter det på ljushållaren, så att de som kommer in ser skenet. 34 Ditt öga är kroppens lykta. När ditt öga är friskt får också hela din kropp ljus, men när det är sjukt ligger också din kropp i mörker. 35 Se därför till att ljuset i dig inte är mörker. 36 Om hela din kropp har ljus och ingen del ligger i mörker, då får den ljus helt och hållet, som när ljuset från en lampa lyser på dig med sitt klara sken."
Jesu ord mot fariseer och laglärda
37 När Jesus hade talat, bjöd en farisé honom hem till sig, och han gick in och lade sig till bords. 38 Farisén blev förvånad när han såg att Jesus inte tvättade sig före måltiden. 39 Men Herren sade till honom: "Ni fariseer rengör utsidan av bägare och fat, men ert inre är fullt av girighet och ondska. 40 Ni dårar, har inte han som gjorde utsidan också gjort insidan? 41 Ge därför ert inre som gåva, så blir allting rent för er.
42 Ve er, ni fariseer! Ni ger tionde av mynta, ruta[c] och alla slags grönsaker men bryr er inte om rätten och kärleken till Gud. Det ena borde ni göra utan att försumma det andra.
43 Ve er, fariseer! Ni älskar den främsta platsen i synagogorna och tycker om att bli hälsade på torgen. 44 Ve er, ni liknar gravar som man inte ser och som folk trampar på utan att veta om det."
45 En av de laglärda sade då till honom: "Mästare, när du säger så, förolämpar du även oss." 46 Han svarade: "Ja, ve också över er, ni laglärda! Ni lägger på människorna bördor som är svåra att bära, men själva rör ni inte ett finger för att lätta dem.
47 Ve er! Ni bygger gravvårdar över profeterna som era fäder mördade. 48 Ni är alltså vittnen till vad era fäder gjorde och samtycker till det. De dödade profeterna och ni bygger gravvårdar över dem. 49 Därför har också Guds vishet sagt: Jag skall sända till dem profeter och apostlar, och en del av dem skall de mörda och förfölja. 50 Så skall av detta släkte utkrävas alla profeters blod, som har utgjutits från världens begynnelse, 51 från Abels blod ända till Sakarjas blod, som utgöts mellan altaret och templet. Ja, jag säger er: Det skall utkrävas av detta släkte.
52 Ve er, ni laglärda! Ni har tagit bort nyckeln till kunskapen. Själva har ni inte kommit in, och dem som är på väg in har ni hindrat."
53 När han gick därifrån, började de skriftlärda och fariseerna angripa honom häftigt och ställa många frågor till honom. 54 De vaktade på honom för att fälla honom genom något som han sade.

教导门徒祷告
11 有一天，耶稣在某地祷告完毕，有个门徒对祂说：“主啊，请教导我们祷告，像约翰教他的门徒一样。”
2 耶稣对他们说：“你们应该这样祷告，
“‘天父，愿人都尊崇你的圣名，
愿你的国度降临，
愿你的旨意在地上成就，
就像在天上成就一样[a]。
3 愿你天天赐给我们日用的饮食。
4 求你饶恕我们的罪，
因为我们也饶恕那些亏欠我们的人。
不要让我们遇见诱惑，
拯救我们脱离那恶者[b]。’”
5 耶稣又对他们说：“假设你在半夜跑去朋友家请求说，‘朋友，请借给我三个饼吧， 6 因为有一位朋友远道而来，我家没有什么可以招待他。’ 7 那个人在屋里应声说，‘请别打搅我，门已经锁上了，我和孩子们也已经上床了，我不能起来给你拿饼。’
8 “我告诉你们，那人虽不念朋友之情，但是倘若你不肯罢休，继续请求，他最终会起来满足你的愿望。
9 “我告诉你们，祈求，就会给你们；寻找，就会寻见；叩门，就会给你们开门。 10 因为凡祈求的，就得到；寻找的，就寻见；叩门的，就给他开门。
11 “你们中间做父亲的，如果孩子要饼，你会给他石头吗？[c]要鱼，你会给他蛇吗？ 12 要鸡蛋，你会给他蝎子吗？ 13 你们虽然邪恶，尚且知道把好东西给儿女，天父岂不更要赐圣灵给那些求祂的人吗？”
耶稣和别西卜
14 有一次，耶稣赶出一个使人哑巴的鬼。鬼一出去，哑巴就能说话了，大家都很惊奇。 15 有人却说：“祂是靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。” 16 还有些人想试探耶稣，要求祂行个神迹证明自己是上帝派来的。
17 耶稣知道他们的心思，就说：“一个国内部自相纷争，必然灭亡；一个家内部自相纷争，必然崩溃。 18 同样，若撒旦内部自相纷争，它的国怎能维持呢？你们说我是靠别西卜赶鬼， 19 若我是靠别西卜赶鬼，你们的子弟又是靠谁赶鬼呢？因此，他们要审判你们。 20 但若我是靠上帝的能力赶鬼，就是上帝的国已降临在你们中间了。
21 “壮汉全副武装地看守自己的住宅，他的财物会很安全。 22 但是，来了一个比他更强壮的人，把他制服后，夺去他所依靠的武装，并把他抢来的东西分给了人。 23 谁不与我为友，就是与我为敌；谁不和我一起收聚，就是故意拆散。
24 “有个污鬼离开了它以前所附的人，在干旱无水之地四处游荡，寻找安歇之处，却没有找到。于是它说，‘我要回到老地方。’ 25 它回去后，看见里面打扫得又干净又整齐， 26 就去带来了七个比自己更邪恶的鬼一起住在那里。那人的下场比从前更惨了。”
谁更有福
27 耶稣说话的时候，人群中有个妇人高喊：“生你养你的人真有福啊！”
28 耶稣回答说：“但那听了上帝的话又去遵行的人更有福。”
可悲的邪恶世代
29 这时聚集的人越来越多，耶稣说：“这是一个邪恶的世代，人们只想看神迹，但除了约拿的神迹以外，再没有神迹给他们看。 30 正如约拿成了尼尼微人的神迹，人子也要成为这世代的神迹。
31 “在审判的日子，南方的女王和这世代的人都要起来[d]，她要定这个世代的罪，因为她曾不远千里来听所罗门王的智言慧语。看啊！这里有一位比所罗门王更伟大。
32 “在审判的日子，尼尼微人和这世代的人都要起来，尼尼微人要定这个世代的罪，因为他们听到约拿的宣告，就悔改了。看啊！这里有一位比约拿更伟大。
灯的比喻
33 “没有人点了灯却将它放在地窖里或斗底下，人总是把灯放在灯台上，让进来的人可以看见光。 34 你的眼睛就是身体的灯，你的眼睛明亮，全身就光明；你的眼睛昏花，全身就黑暗。 35 因此要小心，不要让你心里的光变为黑暗。 36 如果你全身光明、毫无黑暗，你整个人就熠熠生辉，好像有灯光照在你身上。”
谴责法利赛人
37 耶稣说完这番话后，有一个法利赛人来请祂吃饭，祂便应邀入席。 38 这位法利赛人看见耶稣饭前没有行犹太人洗手的礼仪，十分诧异。 39 主对他说：“你们法利赛人洗净杯盘的外面，你们里面却充满了贪婪和邪恶。 40 愚蠢的人啊，人里外不都是上帝所创造的吗？ 41 只要你们发自内心地去施舍，一切对你们都是洁净的。
42 “法利赛人啊，你们有祸了！你们将薄荷、茴香、各样蔬菜献上十分之一，却忽略了上帝的公义和仁爱。后者是你们本该做的，前者也不可忽略。
43 “法利赛人啊，你们有祸了！你们喜欢在会堂里坐首位，又喜欢在街市上听到别人的问候。 44 你们有祸了！因为你们就像没有墓碑的坟墓，人们从上面走过也不知道。”
谴责律法教师
45 一位律法教师对耶稣说：“老师，你这话把我们也侮辱了！”
46 耶稣回答说：“你们这些律法教师也有祸了！你们把沉重难负的担子放在别人肩上，自己却连一根指头也不肯动。
47 “你们有祸了，你们为先知修造坟墓，而他们正是被你们祖先杀害的！ 48 所以你们是见证人，你们赞同祖先的行为，因为他们杀了先知，你们为先知造坟墓。 49 因此，充满智慧的上帝说，‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里，有些要被杀害，有些要遭迫害’， 50-51 使创世以来，自亚伯一直到在祭坛和圣所之间被杀的撒迦利亚等众先知的血债，都由这个世代承担。我实在告诉你们，这些罪责都要由这个世代承担。
52 “律法教师啊，你们有祸了！你们拿走了知识的钥匙，自己不进去，还阻挡那些正要进去的人。”
53 耶稣离开那里后，法利赛人和律法教师开始激烈地反对祂，用各种问题刁难祂， 54 伺机找把柄陷害祂。

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer(A)(B)
11 One day Jesus was praying(C) in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord,(D) teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom(E) come.[b]
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c](F)
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”(G)
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.(H)
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;(I) seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul(J)(K)
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.(L) 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul,(M) the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”(N) 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.(O)
17 Jesus knew their thoughts(P) and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan(Q) is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God,(R) then the kingdom of God(S) has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(T)
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”(U)
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”(V)
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God(W) and obey it.”(X)
The Sign of Jonah(Y)
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,(Z) but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.(AA) 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom;(AB) and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah;(AC) and now something greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AD)
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.(AE) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[g] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[h] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
Woes on the Pharisees and the Experts in the Law
37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.(AF) 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.(AG)
39 Then the Lord(AH) said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.(AI) 40 You foolish people!(AJ) Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor,(AK) and everything will be clean for you.(AL)
42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth(AM) of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.(AN) You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.(AO)
43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.(AP)
44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves,(AQ) which people walk over without knowing it.”
45 One of the experts in the law(AR) answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”
46 Jesus replied, “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.(AS)
47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.(AT) 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom(AU) said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’(AV) 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel(AW) to the blood of Zechariah,(AX) who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.(AY)
52 “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.”(AZ)
53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.(BA)

The Lord’s Prayer(A)
11 Once Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped praying, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples.”
2 Jesus told them, “When you pray, say this:
Father,
let your name be kept holy.
Let your kingdom come.
3 Give us our bread day by day.
4 Forgive us as we forgive everyone else.
Don’t allow us to be tempted.”
The Power of Prayer(B)
5 Jesus said to his disciples, “Suppose one of you has a friend. Suppose you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread. 6 A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don’t have anything to serve him.’ 7 Your friend might answer you from inside his house, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children are in bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’ 8 I can guarantee that although he doesn’t want to get up to give you anything, he will get up and give you whatever you need because he is your friend and because you were so bold.
9 “So I tell you to ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. 10 Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the person who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “If your child asks you, his father, for a fish, would you give him a snake instead? 12 Or if your child asks you for an egg, would you give him a scorpion? 13 Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”
Jesus Is Accused of Working with Beelzebul(C)
14 Jesus was forcing a demon out of a man. The demon had made the man unable to talk. When the demon had gone out, the man began to talk.
The people were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “He can force demons out of people only with the help of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons.” 16 Others wanted to test Jesus and demanded that he show them some miraculous sign from heaven.
17 Since Jesus knew what they were thinking, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is ruined. A house divided against itself falls. 18 Now, if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? I say this because you say Beelzebul helps me force demons out of people. 19 If I force demons out with the help of Beelzebul, who helps your followers force them out? That’s why they will be your judges. 20 But if I force out demons with the help of God’s power, then God’s kingdom has come to you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own mansion, his property is safe. 22 But a stronger man than he may attack him and defeat him. Then the stronger man will take away all the weapons in which the strong man trusted and will divide the loot.
23 “Whoever isn’t with me is against me. Whoever doesn’t gather with me scatters.
24 “When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it goes through dry places looking for a place to rest. But it doesn’t find any. Then it says, ‘I’ll go back to the home I left.’ 25 When it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in order. 26 Then the spirit goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself. They enter and take up permanent residence there. In the end the condition of that person is worse than it was before.”
The Sign of Jonah(D)
27 While Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd shouted, “How blessed is the mother who gave birth to you and the breasts that nursed you.”
28 Jesus replied, “Rather, how blessed are those who hear and obey God’s word.”
29 As the people were gathering around him, Jesus said, “The people living today are evil. They look for a miraculous sign. But the only sign they will get is the sign of Jonah. 30 Just as Jonah became a miraculous sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a miraculous sign to the people living today. 31 The queen from the south will stand up at the time of judgment with the men who live today. She will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon’s wisdom. But look, someone greater than Solomon is here! 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the time of judgment with the people living today. Since the men of Nineveh turned to God and changed the way they thought and acted when Jonah spoke his message, they will condemn the people living today. But look, someone greater than Jonah is here!
Jesus Talks about Light
33 “No one lights a lamp and hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, everyone who lights a lamp puts it on a lamp stand so that those who come in will see its light.
34 “Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is evil, your body is full of darkness. 35 So be careful that the light in you isn’t darkness. 36 If your whole body is full of light and not darkness, it will be as bright as a lamp shining on you.”
Jesus Criticizes Some Jewish Leaders
37 After Jesus spoke, a Pharisee invited him to have lunch at his house. So Jesus accepted the invitation. 38 The Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus didn’t wash before the meal.
39 The Lord said to him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of cups and dishes. But inside you are full of greed and evil. 40 You fools! Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside too? 41 Give what is inside as a gift to the poor, and then everything will be clean [a] for you.
42 “How horrible it will be for you Pharisees! You give ⌞God⌟ one-tenth of your mint, spices, and every garden herb. But you have ignored justice and the love of God. You should have done these things without ignoring the others.
43 “How horrible it will be for you Pharisees! You love to sit in the front seats in the synagogues and to be greeted in the marketplaces. 44 How horrible it will be for you! You are like unmarked graves. People walk on them without knowing what they are.”
45 One of the experts in Moses’ Teachings said to him, “Teacher, when you talk this way, you insult us too.”
46 Jesus said, “How horrible it will be for you experts in Moses’ Teachings! You burden people with loads that are hard to carry. But you won’t lift a finger to carry any of these loads.
47 “How horrible it will be for you! You build the monuments for the prophets. But it was your ancestors who murdered them. 48 So you are witnesses and approve of what your ancestors did. They murdered the prophets for whom you build monuments. 49 That’s why the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles. They will murder some of those prophets and apostles and persecute others.’ 50 So the people living now will be charged with the murder of every prophet since the world was made. 51 This includes the murders from Abel to Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the temple. Yes, I can guarantee this truth: The people living today will be held responsible for this.
52 “How horrible it will be for you experts in Moses’ Teachings! You have taken away the key that unlocks knowledge. You haven’t gained entrance into ⌞knowledge⌟ yourselves, and you’ve kept out those who wanted to enter.”
53 When Jesus left, the experts in Moses’ Teachings and the Pharisees held a terrible grudge against him. They questioned him about many things 54 and watched him closely to trap him in something he might say.
