6 [11:37]And when he was speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him; and he went in and immediately sat down. [11:38]And the Pharisee seeing him, wondered that he was not first baptized before breakfast. [11:39] And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and plate, but your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. [11:40]Senseless men! did not he that made the outside make also the inside? [11:41]But give the things within in charity, and behold, all things are pure to you. 7 [11:42]But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every kind of plant, and omit justice and the love of God. These things you ought to do, and not to omit those. [11:43]Woe to you, Pharisees! for you love the first seat in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets. [11:44]Woe to you! for you are like concealed tombs; and men walk over them and know it not. 8 [11:45]And one of the lawyers answered and said to him, Teacher, in saying these things you reproach us also. [11:46]And he said, Woe to you, lawyers! for you load men with burdens difficult to be borne, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. [11:47]Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them; [11:48]therefore you are witnesses, and approve the deed of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build. [11:49]Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute, [11:50] that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out since the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, [11:51]from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. [11:52]Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you forbid those entering. 9 [11:53]And when he had gone out thence the scribes and Pharisees were extremely angry, and questioned him on many subjects, [11:54]watching him, to catch something from his mouth.
