Woes to the Pharisees and Lawyers

37While Jesus
Greek he
was speaking, ha Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table.
38The Pharisee was astonished to see ithat he did not first wash before dinner. 39And the Lord said to him, jNow you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of kgreed and wickedness. 40 lYou fools! mDid not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41But ngive as alms those things that are within, and behold, oeverything is clean for you.

42 pBut woe to you Pharisees! For qyou tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect rjustice and sthe love of God. tThese you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43Woe to you Pharisees! For uyou love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44Woe to you! vFor you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”

45One of wthe lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46And he said, Woe to you xlawyers also! For yyou load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 zWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.

Luke 11:52-54

52Woe to you aalawyers! abFor you have taken away the key of acknowledge. You addid not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”

53As 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 aelying in wait for him, afto catch him in something he might say.

Luke 21:36

36But agstay awake at all times, ahpraying that you may aihave strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and ajto stand before the Son of Man.”
