Luke 11:37-47

Thomson(i) 37 After he had spoken, a certain Pharisee invited him to dine with him, so he went and placed himself at table. 38 And when the Pharisee who saw this expressed surprise that he had not first washed before dinner, 39 the Lord said to him, Now as for you Pharisees, yon cleanse the outside of the cup and plate; but as to the inside, it is full of your rapacity and wickedness. 40 Unthinking men! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But with respect to the things in it, give alms, and behold they are all clean to you. 42 But alas for you, Pharisees! because you pay tithe of mint, and rue, and of all kinds of pulse, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have practised, without, however, neglecting the other. 43 Alas for you, Pharisees! because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and salutations in public places. 44 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you are like concealed graves, over which men walk without perceiving them. 45 Upon this, one of the teachers of the law, interposing, saith to him, Teacher, by speaking thus dost thou reproach us also? 46 Thereupon he said, Alas for you also, ye teachers of the law, because you load men with heavy burdens hard to be borne, and will not yourselves touch these burdens with one of your fingers. 47 Alas for you; because you build the monuments of the prophets, and your fathers slew them.
