Luke 11:45-54 - Jesus Talks To Experts On The Law

45 And having answered, a certain man of the lawyers says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou rebuke us also.

46 And he said, Woe also to you lawyers! Because ye load men with burdens difficult to bear, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 Woe to you! Because ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, but your fathers killed them. 48 Consequently, ye testify and approve the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. 49 Because of this also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them prophets and apostles. And some of them they will kill and persecute, 50 so that the blood of all the prophets that was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it will be required of this generation.

52 Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.

53 And after he said these things to them, the scholars and the Pharisees began to harass him extremely, and to provoke him to speak impulsively about more things, 54 waiting to ambush him, seeking to catch something out of his mouth so that they might accuse him.
