Luke 11:45-54 - Jesus Talks To Experts On The Law
45 Here one of the Students of the Law interrupted him by saying: "Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also."
46 But Jesus went on: "Alas for you, too, you Students of the Law! You load men with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
47 Alas for you! You build the monuments of the Prophets whom your ancestors killed. 48 You are actually witnesses to your ancestors' acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the Prophets, you build tombs for them. 49 That is why the Wisdom of God said--"I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, 50 Some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the 'blood' of all the prophets 'that has been spilt' since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation-- 51 From the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the House of God." Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
52 Alas for you Students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of Knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in."
53 When Jesus left the house, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely upon many subjects, 54 Laying traps for him, so as to seize upon anything that he might say.
