Luke 11

11:30  For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites¹, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation².

11:31  The queen of the south¹ shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

11:32  The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it¹: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

11:33  No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar¹, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

11:34  The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light¹; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness².

11:35  Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness¹.

11:36  If therefore thy whole body be full of light¹, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.

11:37  Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him¹: and he went in, and sat down to meat².

11:38  And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner¹.

11:39  And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

11:40  Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also¹?

11:41  But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you¹.

11:42  But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue² and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone⁴.

11:43  Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces¹.

11:44  Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not¹, and the men that walk over [them] know it not².

11:45  And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him¹, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also².

11:46  And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne¹, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers².

11:47  Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them¹.

11:48  So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs]¹.

11:49  Therefore also said the wisdom of God¹, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;

11:51  from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation².

11:52  Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge¹: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered².

11:53  And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things¹;

11:54  laying wait for him¹, to catch something out of his mouth.
