40 Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior?

42 But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and every pot-herb; but pass over justice and the love of God. Now ye ought to do these things, and not to omit those.

43 Woe to you, Pharisees! who love the chief seats in the synagogues, and a salutation in the streets.

44 Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like graves that are unknown, and men walk over them and do not know it.

45 And one of the Scribes replied, and said to him: Teacher, while saying these things, thou reproachest us also.

46 And he said: Woe to you also! ye Scribes, who lade men with heavy burdens; yet ye yourselves will not touch those burdens with one of your fingers

47 Woe to you! who build the sepulchres of the prophets, whom your fathers slew.

48 Thus ye testify, that ye acquiesce in the deeds of your fathers; for they slew them, and ye build their sepulchres.

49 Therefore hath wisdom said: Lo, I will send to them prophets and legates; and some of them they will persecute and slay;

51 from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zachariah who was slain between the temple and the altar. Yea, say I to you: It will be required of this generation.

52 Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder.

53 And when he had said these things to them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to be offended, and became angry, and carped at his discourses,
