Luke 11 : 45 - 52
Chapter 11
| 45 | Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, "Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also."
|
| 46 | And He said, "Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
|
| 47 | Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
|
| 48 | In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
|
| 49 | Therefore the wisdom of God also said, "I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill 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 to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
|
| 52 | "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
