One of the lawyers said, Master, in saying this you reproach us also.
Jesus said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers! You load men with unbearable
burdens and you yourselves do not so much as lay a finger on one of
these burdens.
Woe to you! You build shrines to the prophets and your fathers killed
them. You bear witness that you sanction the deeds of your fathers,
for they killed them and you build their shrines.
The wisdom of God said: I will send them prophets and apostles. Some
of them they shall slay and persecute that the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be
required of this generation. The blood of Abel to the blood of
Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple shall be
required of this generation.
Woe to you, lawyers! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You
entered not in yourselves but prevented any others from entering in.
And, as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees
began to urge and provoke Him to speak of many things. They were
laying in wait and trying to catch something He said that they could
use against Him.
12 Later, Jesus drew His disciples together and taught them
saying, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; nor hidden that
shall not be known.
