011:032 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation,
and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,
and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.
011:033 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or
under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may
see the light.
011:034 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good,
your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil,
your body also is full of darkness.
011:035 Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn't darkness.
011:036 If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark,
it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its
bright shining gives you light."
011:037 Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him.
He went in, and sat at the table.
011:038 When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first
washed himself before dinner.
011:039 The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside
of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full
of extortion and wickedness.
011:040 You foolish ones, didn't he who made the outside make
the inside also?
011:041 But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within,
and behold, all things will be clean to you.
011:042 But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and
every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God.
You ought to have done these, and not to have left
the other undone.
011:043 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues,
and the greetings in the marketplaces.
011:044 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them
don't know it."
011:045 One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you
insult us also."
011:046 He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens
that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even
lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
011:047 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets,
and your fathers killed them.
011:048 So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers.
For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
011:049 Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets
and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
011:050 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
011:051 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished
between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you,
it will be required of this generation.
011:052 Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge.
