^{37 Ref} And in `his' speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

^{38 Ref} and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner.

^{39 Ref} And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness;

^{40 Ref} unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make?

^{41 Ref} But what ye have give ye `as' alms, and, lo, all things are clean to you.

^{42 Ref} `But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting.

^{43 Ref} `Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places.

^{44 Ref} `Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.'

^{45 Ref} And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;'

^{46 Ref} and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens.

^{47 Ref} `Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

^{48 Ref} Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;

^{49 Ref} because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

^{50 Ref} that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

^{51 Ref} from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation.

^{52 Ref} `Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'

^{53 Ref} And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

^{54 Ref} laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
