(33)No one, having lighted a lamp, puts it in a secret place, or under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light. (34)The lamp of the body is thine eye. When thine eye is single, thy whole body also is light; but when it is evil, thy body also is dark. (35)Take heed therefore, lest the light that is in thee is darkness[11:35]. (36)If therefore thy whole body is light, having no part dark, it shall be all light as when the lamp, with its bright shining, gives thee light. (37)And as he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him and he went in, and reclined at table. (38)And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not first immerse himself before dinner. (39)And the Lord said to him: Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of rapacity and wickedness. (40)Fools! Did not he, who made the outside, make the inside also? (41)But give that which ye have in alms[11:41]; and, behold, all things are clean to you. (42)But woe to you, Pharisees! because ye pay tithe of mint and rue and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not leave those undone. (43)Woe to you, Pharisees! because ye love the first seat in the synagogues, and the greetings in the markets. (44)Woe to you! because ye are as tombs that appear not, and men walking over them know it not. (45)And a certain one of the lawyers answering says to him: Teacher, in saying these things thou reproachest us also. (46)And he said: Woe to you lawyers also! because ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. (47)Woe to you! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. (48)So then ye bear witness to and approve the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres[11:48]. (49)Therefore also said the wisdom of God: I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will 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 Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say to you, it shall be required of this generation. (52)Woe to you lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and those who were entering in ye hindered. (53)And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things[11:53]; (54)lying in wait for him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
