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

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Teacher, thus saying you reproach us also.

46 And he said, Woe unto you also, you lawyers! for you load men with burdens hard to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47 Woe unto you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Truly you bear witness that you consent to the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers. 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay 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 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: 54 Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
