Alas! what have you to do with us, Jesus Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy [Son] of God!

But alas! for you, ye wealthy, for ye are duly receiving you consolation.

Alas! for you, ye who are filled full now, for ye shall hunger. Alas! ye that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.

Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power which have been down in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes sitting, they would have repented.

But alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was biding to do, and, those, not to pass by.

Alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places!

Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not.

And, he, said - And, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the burdens.

Alas for you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slew them!

Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.

And he said unto his disciples: - It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:

in these words, "O that thou hadst consider'd, at least in this very day, the opportunity you had of being happy! but now alas! it is vanish'd from your eyes."

Alas for the women who are pregnant and those who have nursing babies in those days! For there will be great misery in the land and wrath on this people.

Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.
