路加福音 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求就必得着(A)
11 有一天,耶稣在一个地方祈祷,祈祷完了,有一个门徒对他说:“主啊,求你教导我们祷告,像约翰教导他的门徒一样。” 2 耶稣说:“你们祷告的时候,要说:
‘父啊,愿你的名被尊为圣,
愿你的国降临(有些抄本在此有“愿你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上”一句);
3 我们需用的食物,
求你每天赐给我们;
4 赦免我们的罪,
因为我们也饶恕所有亏负我们的人;
不要让我们陷入试探(有些抄本在此有“救我们脱离那恶者”一句)。’”
5 耶稣又对他们说:“你们当中,谁有朋友半夜去找他,说:‘请你借给我三个饼, 6 因为我有一个朋友旅行来到我这里,我没有甚么可以招待他。’ 7 而他却在里面回答:‘不要麻烦我,门已经关好了,孩子也跟我在床上了,我不能起来拿给你。’ 8 我告诉你们,即使不因为他是朋友而起来给他,也会因为他厚颜地直求,而起来照他所需要的给他。 9 我又告诉你们,你们祈求,就给你们;寻找,就寻见;叩门,就给你们开门。 10 因为所有祈求的就得着,寻找的就寻见,叩门的就给他开门。 11 你们中间作父亲的,哪有儿子求鱼,反拿蛇当作鱼给他呢? 12 或求鸡蛋,反给他蝎子呢? 13 你们虽然不好,尚且知道把好东西给自己的儿女,何况天父,岂不更把圣灵赐给求他的人吗?”
耶稣靠 神的能力赶鬼(B)
14 耶稣赶出一个哑巴鬼,鬼既出去,哑巴就说起话来,众人都希奇。 15 有人说:“他靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。” 16 又有人试探他,向他求一个从天上来的神迹。 17 耶稣知道他们的心意,就对他们说:“如果一个国家自相纷争,就必定荒凉;如果一个家庭自相为敌,就必然败落。 18 如果撒但自相纷争,他的国怎能站立得住呢?你们说我靠别西卜赶鬼, 19 我若靠别西卜赶鬼,你们的子孙赶鬼又靠谁呢?因此,他们必要作你们的审判官。 20 我若靠 神的能力赶鬼,这就是 神的国临到你们了。 21 一个壮汉拿着武器,看守自己的家园,他的家财就平安无事。 22 但是一个比他更强的人来了,胜过了他,夺去他所倚靠的武器,就把他的家财当作掠物分了。 23 不站在我这一边的就是反对我的;不跟从一起收聚的就是分散的。
污灵去而复返的教训(C)
24 “一个污灵离开了一个人,走遍干旱之地,寻找栖身的地方,却没有找到,就说:‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子。’ 25 到了之后,看见里面已经打扫干净,粉饰好了, 26 他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来,进去住在那里;那人后来的情况,比以前更坏了。”
约拿的神迹(D)
27 耶稣正说这些话的时候,群众中有一个女人高声对他说:“怀你胎的和哺养你的有福了!” 28 他说:“是的,却还不如听 神的道而遵守的人有福。” 29 众人聚集的时候,耶稣就说:“这世代是个邪恶的世代。这世代寻求神迹,可是除了约拿的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他们了。 30 约拿怎样成了尼尼微人的神迹,人子也照样成为这个世代的神迹。 31 审判的时候,南方的女王要和这世代的人一同起来,她要定他们的罪,因为她从地极来到,要听所罗门智慧的话。你看,这里有一位是比所罗门更大的。 32 审判的时候,尼尼微人要和这世代的人一同起来,他们要定这个世代的罪,因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。你看,这里有一位是比约拿更大的。
里面的光(E)
33 “没有人点了灯,把它放在地窖里,或量器底下,却放在灯台上,叫进来的人看得见光。 34 你的眼睛就是你身体的灯,你的眼睛健全,全身就明亮;如果不健全,全身就黑暗。 35 所以要谨慎,免得你里面的光黑暗了。 36 你若全身明亮,没有一点黑暗,你就完全明亮,好象明亮的灯光照你一样。”
法利赛人和律法师有祸了(F)
37 耶稣说话的时候,有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他一起吃饭;他就进去坐席。 38 这个法利赛人见耶稣吃饭之前不洗手,觉得奇怪。 39 主对他说:“你们法利赛人把杯盘的外面洗净,但你们里面却充满了抢夺和邪恶。 40 无知的人哪,那造外面的,不也造里面吗? 41 只要把里面的施舍出去,你们的一切就都洁净了。 42 然而你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们把薄荷、茴香和各样菜蔬献上十分之一,却把公义和爱 神的事疏忽了;这些是你们应当作的,但其他的也不可疏忽。 43 你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们喜爱会堂里的高位和人在巿中心的问安。 44 你们有祸了!因为你们好象不显露的坟墓,走在上面的人并不知道。”
45 律法师中有一个回答他:“老师,你这样说,把我们也侮辱了!” 46 耶稣说:“你们律法师也有祸了,因为你们把难担的担子叫人担,自己连一个指头也不动。 47 你们有祸了!因为你们修造先知的坟墓,而那些先知正是你们祖先所杀的, 48 这样,你们就成了证人,对你们祖先的作为表示同意;他们杀害先知,你们修造先知的坟墓。 49 所以, 神的智慧说:‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去,有的他们要杀害,有的他们要迫害, 50-51 为要使创世以来众先知所流的血,从亚伯的血起,直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止,都向这一代追讨。’是的,我告诉你们,都要向这一代追讨。 52 你们律法师有祸了!因为你们拿去知识的钥匙,自己不进去,又阻止要进去的人。” 53 耶稣从那里出来,经学家和法利赛人非常敌视他,质问他很多问题, 54 等机会从他的口中找把柄。
Luc 11
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Instructions de Jésus sur la prière
11 Jésus priait un jour en un certain lieu. Lorsqu’il eut achevé, un de ses disciples lui dit: Seigneur, enseigne-nous à prier, comme Jean l’a enseigné à ses disciples. 2 Il leur dit: Quand vous priez, dites: Père! Que ton nom soit sanctifié; que ton règne vienne. 3 Donne-nous chaque jour notre pain quotidien; 4 pardonne-nous nos péchés, car nous aussi nous pardonnons à quiconque nous offense; et ne nous induis pas en tentation.
5 Il leur dit encore: Si l’un de vous a un ami, et qu’il aille le trouver au milieu de la nuit pour lui dire: Ami, prête-moi trois pains, 6 car un de mes amis est arrivé de voyage chez moi, et je n’ai rien à lui offrir, 7 et si, de l’intérieur de sa maison, cet ami lui répond: Ne m’importune pas, la porte est déjà fermée, mes enfants et moi nous sommes au lit, je ne puis me lever pour te donner des pains, 8 je vous le dis, même s’il ne se levait pas pour les lui donner parce que c’est son ami, il se lèverait à cause de son importunité et lui donnerait tout ce dont il a besoin. 9 Et moi, je vous dis: Demandez, et l’on vous donnera; cherchez, et vous trouverez; frappez, et l’on vous ouvrira. 10 Car quiconque demande reçoit, celui qui cherche trouve, et l’on ouvre à celui qui frappe. 11 Quel est parmi vous le père qui donnera une pierre à son fils, s’il lui demande du pain? Ou, s’il demande un poisson, lui donnera-t-il un serpent au lieu d’un poisson? 12 Ou, s’il demande un œuf, lui donnera-t-il un scorpion? 13 Si donc, méchants comme vous l’êtes, vous savez donner de bonnes choses à vos enfants, à combien plus forte raison le Père céleste donnera-t-il le Saint-Esprit à ceux qui le lui demandent.
Guérison d’un démoniaque; le péché irrémissible: le blasphème contre le Saint-Esprit
14 Jésus chassa un démon qui était muet. Lorsque le démon fut sorti, le muet parla, et la foule fut dans l’admiration. 15 Mais quelques-uns dirent: C’est par Béelzébul, le prince des démons, qu’il chasse les démons. 16 Et d’autres, pour l’éprouver, lui demandèrent un signe venant du ciel. 17 Comme Jésus connaissait leurs pensées, il leur dit: Tout royaume divisé contre lui-même est dévasté, et une maison s’écroule sur une autre. 18 Si donc Satan est divisé contre lui-même, comment son royaume subsistera-t-il, puisque vous dites que je chasse les démons par Béelzébul? 19 Et si moi, je chasse les démons par Béelzébul, vos fils, par qui les chassent-ils? C’est pourquoi ils seront eux-mêmes vos juges. 20 Mais, si c’est par le doigt de Dieu que je chasse les démons, le royaume de Dieu est donc venu vers vous. 21 Lorsqu’un homme fort et bien armé garde sa maison, ce qu’il possède est en sûreté. 22 Mais, si un plus fort que lui survient et le dompte, il lui enlève toutes les armes dans lesquelles il se confiait, et il distribue ses dépouilles. 23 Celui qui n’est pas avec moi est contre moi, et celui qui n’assemble pas avec moi disperse.
Le retour de l’esprit impur
24 Lorsque l’esprit impur est sorti d’un homme, il va dans des lieux arides, pour chercher du repos. N’en trouvant point, il dit: Je retournerai dans ma maison d’où je suis sorti; 25 et, quand il arrive, il la trouve balayée et ornée. 26 Alors il s’en va, et il prend sept autres esprits plus méchants que lui; ils entrent dans la maison, s’y établissent, et la dernière condition de cet homme est pire que la première.
27 Tandis que Jésus parlait ainsi, une femme, élevant la voix du milieu de la foule, lui dit: Heureux le sein qui t’a porté! heureuses les mamelles qui t’ont allaité! 28 Et il répondit: Heureux plutôt ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu, et qui la gardent!
Le signe du prophète Jonas
29 Comme le peuple s’amassait en foule, il se mit à dire: Cette génération est une génération méchante; elle demande un miracle; il ne lui sera donné d’autre miracle que celui de Jonas. 30 Car, de même que Jonas fut un signe pour les Ninivites, de même le Fils de l’homme en sera un pour cette génération. 31 La reine du Midi se lèvera, au jour du jugement, avec les hommes de cette génération et les condamnera, parce qu’elle vint des extrémités de la terre pour entendre la sagesse de Salomon; et voici, il y a ici plus que Salomon. 32 Les hommes de Ninive se lèveront, au jour du jugement, avec cette génération et la condamneront, parce qu’ils se repentirent à la prédication de Jonas; et voici, il y a ici plus que Jonas.
Parabole de la lampe et de l’œil
33 Personne n’allume une lampe pour la mettre dans un lieu caché ou sous le boisseau, mais on la met sur le chandelier, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière. 34 Ton œil est la lampe de ton corps. Lorsque ton œil est en bon état[a], tout ton corps est éclairé; mais lorsque ton œil est en mauvais état, ton corps est dans les ténèbres. 35 Prends donc garde que la lumière qui est en toi ne soit ténèbres. 36 Si donc tout ton corps est éclairé, n’ayant aucune partie dans les ténèbres, il sera entièrement éclairé, comme lorsque la lampe t’éclaire de sa lumière.
Sept malheurs sur les pharisiens
37 Pendant que Jésus parlait, un pharisien le pria de dîner chez lui. Il entra, et se mit à table. 38 Le pharisien vit avec étonnement qu’il ne s’était pas lavé avant le repas. 39 Mais le Seigneur lui dit: Vous, pharisiens, vous nettoyez le dehors de la coupe et du plat, et à l’intérieur vous êtes pleins de rapine et de méchanceté. 40 Insensés! celui qui a fait le dehors n’a-t-il pas fait aussi le dedans? 41 Donnez plutôt en aumônes ce que vous avez[b], et voici, toutes choses seront pures pour vous.
42 Mais malheur à vous, pharisiens! parce que vous payez la dîme de la menthe, de la rue, et de toutes les herbes, et que vous négligez la justice et l’amour de Dieu: c’est là ce qu’il fallait pratiquer, sans omettre les autres choses.
43 Malheur à vous, pharisiens! parce que vous aimez les premiers sièges dans les synagogues, et les salutations dans les places publiques.
44 Malheur à vous! parce que vous êtes comme les sépulcres qui ne paraissent pas, et sur lesquels on marche sans le savoir.
45 Un des docteurs de la loi prit la parole, et lui dit: Maître, en parlant de la sorte, c’est aussi nous que tu outrages. 46 Et Jésus répondit: Malheur à vous aussi, docteurs de la loi! parce que vous chargez les hommes de fardeaux difficiles à porter, et que vous ne touchez pas vous-mêmes de l’un de vos doigts.
47 Malheur à vous! parce que vous bâtissez les tombeaux des prophètes, que vos pères ont tués. 48 Vous rendez donc témoignage aux œuvres de vos pères, et vous les approuvez; car eux, ils ont tué les prophètes, et vous, vous bâtissez leurs tombeaux. 49 C’est pourquoi la sagesse de Dieu a dit: Je leur enverrai des prophètes et des apôtres; ils tueront les uns et persécuteront les autres, 50 afin qu’il soit demandé compte à cette génération du sang de tous les prophètes qui a été répandu depuis la création du monde, 51 depuis le sang d’Abel jusqu’au sang de Zacharie, tué entre l’autel et le temple; oui, je vous le dis, il en sera demandé compte à cette génération.
52 Malheur à vous, docteurs de la loi! parce que vous avez enlevé la clef de la science; vous n’êtes pas entrés vous-mêmes, et vous avez empêché d’entrer ceux qui le voulaient.
53 Quand il fut sorti de là, les scribes et les pharisiens commencèrent à le presser violemment, et à le faire parler sur beaucoup de choses, 54 lui tendant des pièges, pour surprendre quelque parole sortie de sa bouche.
Luke 11
King James Version
11 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Luke 11
New King James Version
The Model Prayer(A)
11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
(B)Our[a] Father [b]in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
[c]Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And (C)forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
[d]But deliver us from the evil one.”
A Friend Comes at Midnight
5 And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8 I say to you, (D)though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(E)
9 (F)“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; (G)seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 (H)If a son asks for [e]bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give (I)good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
A House Divided Cannot Stand(J)
14 (K)And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, (L)“He casts out demons by [f]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
16 Others, testing Him, (M)sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 (N)But (O)He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons (P)with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 (Q)When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But (R)when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his [g]spoils. 23 (S)He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
An Unclean Spirit Returns(T)
24 (U)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and (V)the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Keeping the Word
27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, (W)“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
28 But He said, (X)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Seeking a Sign(Y)
29 (Z)And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a (AA)sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah [h]the prophet. 30 For as (AB)Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31 (AC)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a (AD)greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for (AE)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AF)
33 (AG)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a (AH)basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 (AI)The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is [i]good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is [j]bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers
37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 (AJ)When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.
39 (AK)Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but (AL)your inward part is full of [k]greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not (AM)He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 (AN)But rather give alms of [l]such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 (AO)“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and (AP)pass by justice and the (AQ)love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 (AR)Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the [m]best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 (AS)Woe to you, [n]scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (AT)For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”
46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! (AU)For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (AV)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, (AW)‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 (AX)from the blood of Abel to (AY)the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 (AZ)“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
53 [o]And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, [p]and (BA)seeking to catch Him in something He might say, [q]that they might accuse Him.
