and of all the harsh words that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

Rebuking the Pharisees and Experts in the Law
11:37 As he spoke, a Pharisee invited Jesus to have a meal with him, so he went in and took his place at the table.
11:38 The Pharisee was astonished when he saw that Jesus did not first wash his hands before the meal.
11:39 But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
11:40 You fools! Didn’t the one who made the outside make the inside as well?
11:41 But give from your heart to those in need, and then everything will be clean for you.
11:42 “But woe to you Pharisees! You give a tenth of your mint, rue, and every herb, yet you neglect justice and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others.
11:43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seats in the synagogues and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces!
11:44 Woe to you! You are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it!”
11:45 One of the experts in religious law answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things you insult us too.”
11:46 But Jesus replied, “Woe to you experts in religious law as well! You load people down with burdens difficult to bear, yet you yourselves refuse to touch the burdens with even one of your fingers!
11:47 Woe to you! You build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
11:48 So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!
11:49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’
11:50 so that this generation may be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,
11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation.
11:52 Woe to you experts in religious law! You have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in.”
11:53 When he went out from there, the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about many things,
11:54 plotting against him, to catch him in something he might say.
