Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers

37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.
38 aWhen the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.  
39 aThen the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but byour inward part is full of greed and wickedness.  
40 Foolish ones! Did not aHe who made the outside make the inside also?  
41 aBut rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.  
42 a“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and bpass by justice and the clove of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.  
43 aWoe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.  
44 aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! bFor you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”  
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”
46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! aFor you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.  
47 aWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.  
48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, a‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill 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 afrom the blood of Abel to bthe blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.  
52 a“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”  
53 1And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,  
54 lying in wait for Him,1 and aseeking to catch Him in something He might say,2 that they might accuse Him.
