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
Segond 21
Enseignement de Jésus sur la prière
11 Jésus priait un jour dans un certain endroit. Quand il eut fini, un de ses disciples lui dit: «Seigneur, enseigne-nous à prier, tout comme Jean l'a enseigné à ses disciples.» 2 Il leur dit: «Quand vous priez, dites: ‘[Notre] Père [céleste]! Que la sainteté de ton nom soit respectée, que ton règne vienne, [que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.] 3 Donne-nous chaque jour notre pain quotidien; 4 pardonne-nous nos péchés, car nous aussi nous pardonnons à toute personne qui nous offense, et ne nous expose pas à la tentation, [mais délivre-nous du mal[a].]’»
5 Il leur dit encore: «Supposons que l'un de vous ait un ami et qu'il aille le trouver au milieu de la nuit pour lui dire: ‘Mon 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 Supposons que, de l'intérieur de sa maison, cet ami lui réponde: ‘Ne m'ennuie pas, la porte est déjà fermée, mes enfants et moi sommes au lit, je ne peux pas me lever pour te donner des pains.’ 8 Je vous le dis, même s'il ne se lève pas pour les lui donner parce que c'est son ami, il se lèvera à cause de son insistance et lui donnera 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 En effet, tous ceux qui demandent reçoivent, celui qui cherche trouve et l'on ouvrira à celui qui frappe. 11 Quel père parmi vous donnera une pierre à son fils, s'il lui demande du pain? Ou bien s'il demande un poisson, lui donnera-t-il un serpent au lieu d'un poisson? 12 Ou bien s'il demande un œuf, lui donnera-t-il un scorpion? 13 Si donc, mauvais comme vous l'êtes, vous savez donner de bonnes choses à vos enfants, le Père céleste donnera d’autant plus volontiers le Saint-Esprit à ceux qui le lui demandent.»
Jésus contesté après un miracle
14 Jésus chassa un démon qui était muet. Lorsque le démon fut sorti, le muet se mit à parler, et la foule fut dans l'admiration. 15 Cependant, quelques-uns dirent: «C'est par Béelzébul[b], le prince des démons, qu'il chasse les démons.» 16 D'autres, pour le mettre à l'épreuve, lui demandaient un signe venant du ciel. 17 Comme Jésus connaissait leurs pensées, il leur dit: «Tout royaume confronté à des luttes internes est dévasté et les maisons s'écroulent l'une sur l'autre. 18 Si donc Satan lutte 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 disciples, 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, alors le royaume de Dieu est venu jusqu'à vous. 21 Lorsqu'un homme fort et bien armé garde sa maison, ce qu'il possède est en sécurité. 22 Mais, si un autre plus fort que lui survient et le maîtrise, il lui enlève toutes les armes sur lesquelles il comptait et distribue ses biens à d'autres. 23 Celui qui n'est pas avec moi est contre moi et celui qui ne rassemble pas avec moi disperse.
24 »Lorsqu'un esprit impur est sorti d'un homme, il va dans des endroits arides pour chercher du repos. Comme il n'en trouve pas, il dit: ‘Je retournerai dans ma maison, d'où je suis sorti.’ 25 A son arrivée, il la trouve balayée et bien rangée. 26 Alors il s'en va prendre sept autres esprits plus mauvais que lui; ils entrent dans la maison, s'y installent, et la dernière condition de cet homme est pire que la première.»
27 Jésus parlait encore quand une femme se mit à lui dire, du milieu de la foule: «Heureux le ventre qui t'a porté! Heureux les seins qui t'ont allaité!» 28 Il répondit: «Heureux plutôt ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu et qui la gardent!»
29 Comme la foule s'amassait, il se mit à dire: «Cette génération est une génération mauvaise; elle réclame un signe miraculeux, il ne lui sera pas donné d'autre signe que celui de Jonas [le prophète]. 30 En effet, de même que Jonas a été un signe pour les Ninivites, de même le Fils de l'homme en sera un pour cette génération. 31 Lors du jugement, la reine du Midi[c] se lèvera avec les hommes de cette génération et les condamnera, parce qu'elle est venue des extrémités de la terre pour entendre la sagesse de Salomon. Or, il y a ici plus que Salomon. 32 Lors du jugement, les habitants de Ninive se lèveront avec cette génération et la condamneront, parce qu'ils ont changé d’attitude à la prédication de Jonas. Or, il y a ici plus que Jonas.
33 »Personne n'allume une lampe pour la mettre dans un endroit caché ou sous un seau, mais on la met sur son support, afin que ceux qui entrent voient la lumière. 34 Ton œil est la lampe de ton corps. Lorsque ton œil est en bon état, tout ton corps est éclairé; mais lorsque ton œil est en mauvais état, ton corps aussi est dans les ténèbres. 35 Veille donc à ce que la lumière qui est en toi ne soit pas ténèbres. 36 Si donc ton corps tout entier est éclairé, sans aucune partie dans les ténèbres, il sera entièrement éclairé comme lorsque la lampe t'éclaire de sa lueur.»
Jésus condamne les pharisiens et les spécialistes de la loi
37 Pendant que Jésus parlait, un pharisien l'invita à 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 l'extérieur de la coupe et du plat, mais à l'intérieur vous êtes pleins d’avidité et de méchanceté. 40 Hommes dépourvus de bon sens! Celui qui a fait l'extérieur n'a-t-il pas fait aussi l'intérieur? 41 Faites plutôt don de ce que vous avez à l'intérieur, et alors tout sera pur pour vous. 42 Mais malheur à vous, pharisiens, parce que vous payez la dîme de la menthe, de la rue et de chaque plante et que vous négligez la justice et l'amour de Dieu; voilà ce qu'il fallait pratiquer, sans négliger le reste. 43 Malheur à vous, pharisiens, parce que vous aimez occuper les sièges d'honneur dans les synagogues et être salués sur les places publiques. 44 Malheur à vous, [spécialistes de la loi et pharisiens hypocrites,] parce que vous êtes comme des tombeaux qu'on ne remarque pas et sur lesquels on marche sans le savoir.»
45 Un des professeurs de la loi prit la parole et lui dit: «Maître, en parlant ainsi, c'est aussi nous que tu insultes.» 46 Jésus répondit: «Malheur à vous aussi, professeurs de la loi, parce que vous chargez les hommes de fardeaux difficiles à porter, que vous ne touchez pas vous-mêmes d'un seul doigt. 47 Malheur à vous, parce que vous construisez les tombeaux des prophètes que vos ancêtres ont tués. 48 Vous rendez donc témoignage aux actes de vos ancêtres et vous les approuvez, car eux, ils ont tué les prophètes et vous, vous construisez [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 versé 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, professeurs de la loi, parce que vous avez enlevé la clé de la connaissance; vous n'êtes pas entrés vous-mêmes et ceux qui voulaient entrer, vous les en avez empêchés.»
53 Comme il leur disait cela, les spécialistes de la loi et les pharisiens commencèrent à s'acharner contre lui et à le faire parler sur bien des sujets; 54 ils lui tendaient des pièges pour surprendre une parole sortie de sa bouche [afin de pouvoir l'accuser].
Luke 11
Authorized (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 International Version
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)
