- Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
- You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?
- But give what is inside the dish to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.

- "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.
- "Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
- "Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it."
- One of the experts in the law answered him, "Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also."
- Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

- "Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.
- "Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it."

- So you testify that you approve of what your forefathers did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
- Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.'
- Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,
- from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

- so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,
- from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.'
