Luke 11:46-52

English Standard Version

⁴⁶ And he said, “Woe to you ^(A)lawyers also! For ^(B)you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. ^47 (C)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. ^48 (D)So you are witnesses and you ^(E)consent to the deeds of ^(F)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ Therefore also ^(G)the Wisdom of God said, ^(H)‘I will send them ^(I)prophets and apostles, ^(J)some of whom they will ^(K)kill and persecute,’ ⁵⁰ so that ^(L)the blood of all the prophets, shed ^(M)from the foundation of the world, may be ^(N)charged against this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of ^(O)Abel to the blood of ^(P)Zechariah, who perished between ^(Q)the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be ^(R)required of this generation. ⁵² Woe to you ^(S)lawyers! ^(T)For you have taken away the key of ^(U)knowledge. You ^(V)did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
