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

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, "Master, thus saying, thou puttest us to rebuke also."

46 Then he said, "Woe be to you also ye lawyers: for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers.

47 Woe be to you that build the sepulchers of the prophets: for your fathers killed them: 48 Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. 49 "Therefore said the wisdom of God: I will send them prophets and apostles, and of them they shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation, 51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation.

52 Woe be to you lawyers: for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and them that came in ye forbade."

53 When he thus spake unto them, the lawyers and the Pharisees began to wax busy about him, and to stop his mouth with many questions; 54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.
