WPNT(i)
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! You tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you ignore justice and the love of God. These it was necessary to do, without leaving those undone.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the best seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like unperceived graves, that people walk on without knowing it.”
45 Then one of the lawyers reacted and said to him, “Teacher, by saying these things you insult us also!”
46 So He said: “Woe to you lawyers also! You load men down with burdens hard to carry, but you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! You build the tombs of the prophets, it being your fathers who killed them.
48 Thereby you witness to and approve of the deeds of your fathers; because they indeed killed them, while you build their tombs.
49 Also, because of this ‘the wisdom of God’ said: ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute’,
50 so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Woe to you lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering!”
