Luke 11:45-54 45  One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, “Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too.”  46  But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.  47  “Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and  it was  your fathers  who  killed them.  48  “So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build  their tombs.   49  “For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and  some  of them they will kill and  some  they will persecute,  50  so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,  51  from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the a...

Luke 11:37-44 37  Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined  at the table.   38  When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.  39  But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.  40  “You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?  41  “But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you. 42  “But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every  kind of  garden herb, and  yet  disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.  43  “Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places....

Luke 11:27-36 27  While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.”  28  But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” 29  As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and  yet  no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.  30  “For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.  31  “The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.  32  “The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jo...

Luke 11:14-26 14  And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.  15  But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”  16  Others, to test  Him,  were demanding of Him a sign from heaven.  17  But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house  divided  against itself falls.  18  “If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.  19  “And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.  20  “But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.  21  “When a strong  man,  fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.  22  “But...
