New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Luke 11
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.
44 Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it."
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.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
