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

45 And one of the lawyers, answering, says to Him, "Teacher, in saying these things, Thou insultest us also!"

46 And He said, "Woe to you lawyers, also! because ye burden men with burdens hard to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers!

47 "Woe to you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 Consequently, ye are witnesses, and consent to the works of your fathers; because they, indeed, killed them, and ye build their tombs. 49 On this account also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them will they slay, and some will they persecute; 50 that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed from the founding 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 house??ea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.'

52 "Woe to you lawyers; because ye took away the Key of Knowledge; ye yourselves entered not in, and those who were entering ye hindered."

53 And, when He went forth thence, the scribes and Pharisees began vehemently to press upon Him, and to urge Him to speak concerning many things; 54 lying in wait for Him, to catch something out of His mouth.
