Pharisees and Legal Experts Denounced
37 And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to have a meal[a] with him, and he went in and[b] reclined at table. 38 And the Pharisee, when he[c] saw it,[d] was astonished that he did not first wash before the meal. 39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your inside is full of greediness and wickedness. 40 Fools! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as charitable giving the things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
42 “But woe to you, Pharisees, because you pay a tenth of mint and rue and every garden herb, and neglect justice and love for God! But it was necessary to do these things without neglecting those things also. 43 Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the best seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces! 44 Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, and the people who walk over them[e] do not know it![f]
45 And one of the legal experts answered and[g] said to him, “Teacher, when you[h] say these things, you insult us also!” 46 So he said, “Woe to you also, legal experts, because you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers! 47 Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them! 48 As a result you are witnesses, and you approve of the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build their tombs![i] 49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’ 50 so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building.[j] Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation! 52 Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!”
53 And when[k] he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many things,

37 When en · de · ho Jesus finished speaking laleō, a Pharisee Pharisaios asked erōtaō him autos to hopōs have a meal aristaō with para him autos, so de he went eiserchomai in and reclined anapiptō at table . 38 The ho · de Pharisee Pharisaios was surprised thaumazō when he observed that hoti Jesus did baptizō not ou wash baptizō first prōton, before pro the ho meal ariston. 39 The ho Lord kyrios said legō · de to pros him autos, “ Now nyn you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios cleanse katharizō the ho outside exōthen of the ho cup potērion and kai of the ho dish pinax; but de the ho inside esōthen of you hymeis is full gemō of greed harpagē and kai wickedness ponēria. 40 Fools aphrōn! Did not ou he ho who made poieō the ho outside exōthen make poieō the ho inside esōthen also kai? 41 Rather plēn, in connection with what ho is inside eneimi, you should give didōmi alms eleēmosynē, and kai then idou everything pas will be eimi clean katharos for you hymeis. 42 But alla woe ouai to you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios! For hoti you tithe apodekatoō · ho mint hēdyosmon and kai · ho rue pēganon and kai every pas kind of garden lachanon herb , yet kai disregard parerchomai · ho justice krisis and kai the ho love agapē of ho God theos. These houtos · de you should dei have done poieō, without mē neglecting pariēmi the others kakeinos. 43 Woe ouai to you hymeis · ho Pharisees Pharisaios! For hoti you love agapaō the ho seat prōtokathedria of honor in en the ho synagogues synagōgē and kai · ho greetings aspasmos in en the ho marketplaces agora. 44 Woe ouai to you hymeis! For hoti you are eimi like hōs · ho unmarked adēlos tombs mnēmeion; · ho · kai · ho people anthrōpos · ho walk peripateō over epanō them without ou realizing oida it.”
45 One tis of the ho lawyers nomikos responded apokrinomai · de and said legō to him autos, “ Teacher didaskalos, in saying legō these houtos things you insult hybrizō us hēmeis as kai well .” 46 Jesus ho · de replied legō, “ Woe ouai to you hymeis · ho lawyers nomikos also kai! For hoti you load phortizō · ho people anthrōpos down with burdens phortion hard to bear dysbastaktos, yet kai you prospsauō yourselves autos will prospsauō not ou touch prospsauō the ho burdens phortion with one heis of ho your hymeis fingers daktylos. 47 Woe ouai to you hymeis! For hoti you build oikodomeō · ho memorials mnēmeion to the ho prophets prophētēs, · ho but de your hymeis fathers patēr killed apokteinō them autos. 48 So ara you are eimi witnesses martys: · kai you approve syneudokeō of the ho deeds ergon of ho your hymeis fathers patēr, because hoti while men they autos killed apokteinō them autos, you hymeis · de build oikodomeō the memorials. 49 Indeed kai, for dia this houtos reason the ho Wisdom sophia of ho God theos said legō, ‘ I will send apostellō to eis them autos prophets prophētēs and kai apostles apostolos, · kai some ek of whom autos they will kill apokteinō and kai persecute diōkō,’ 50 so hina that the ho blood haima of all pas the ho prophets prophētēs, · ho shed ekchunnomai since apo the foundation katabolē of the world kosmos, may be charged ekzēteō against apo · ho this houtos generation genea, 51 from apo the blood haima of Abel Habel to heōs the blood haima of Zechariah Zacharias, who ho perished apollymi between metaxy the ho altar thusiastērion and kai the ho sanctuary oikos.
