Luke 11:46–54
46He said,“Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.↗
47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.↗
48So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.↗
49Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,↗
50that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,↗
51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.↗
52Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”↗
53As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,↗
54lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.↗
