Matthew 23:13-36
English Standard Version
13 “But woe (A)to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you (B)shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you (C)neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.[a] 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single (D)proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a (E)child of (F)hell[b] as yourselves.
16 “Woe to (G)you, (H)blind guides, who say, (I)‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or (J)the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by (K)the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or (L)the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by (M)him who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by (N)heaven swears by (O)the throne of God and by (P)him who sits upon it.
23 (Q)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For (R)you tithe mint and dill and (S)cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: (T)justice and mercy and faithfulness. (U)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing (V)a camel!
25 (W)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For (X)you clean the outside of (Y)the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of (Z)greed and self-indulgence. 26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of (AA)the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
27 (AB)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like (AC)whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people's bones and (AD)all uncleanness. 28 So you also (AE)outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of (AF)hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 (AG)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are (AH)sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 (AI)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, (AJ)you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to (AK)hell? 34 (AL)Therefore (AM)I send you (AN)prophets and wise men and (AO)scribes, (AP)some of whom you will kill and crucify, and (AQ)some you will (AR)flog in your synagogues and (AS)persecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all (AT)the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous (AU)Abel to the blood of (AV)Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[c] whom you murdered between (AW)the sanctuary and (AX)the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, (AY)all these things will come upon this generation.

Psalm 110:1
English Standard Version
Sit at My Right Hand
A Psalm of David.
110 (A)The Lord says to my Lord:
(B)“Sit at my right hand,
(C)until I make your enemies your (D)footstool.”
Luke 11:39-54
English Standard Version
39 And the Lord said to him, (A)“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of (B)greed and wickedness. 40 (C)You fools! (D)Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But (E)give as alms those things that are within, and behold, (F)everything is clean for you.
42 (G)“But woe to you Pharisees! For (H)you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect (I)justice and (J)the love of God. (K)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For (L)you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! (M)For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
45 One of (N)the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46 And he said, “Woe to you (O)lawyers also! For (P)you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (Q)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 (R)So you are witnesses and you (S)consent to the deeds of (T)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also (U)the Wisdom of God said, (V)‘I will send them (W)prophets and apostles, (X)some of whom they will (Y)kill and persecute,’ 50 so that (Z)the blood of all the prophets, shed (AA)from the foundation of the world, may be (AB)charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of (AC)Abel to the blood of (AD)Zechariah, who perished between (AE)the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be (AF)required of this generation. 52 Woe to you (AG)lawyers! (AH)For you have taken away the key of (AI)knowledge. You (AJ)did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, 54 (AK)lying in wait for him, (AL)to catch him in something he might say.
