Luke 11:45-47

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁵ A teacher of the Law of Moses spoke up, “Teacher, you said cruel things about us.”

⁴⁶ Jesus replied:

You teachers are also in for trouble! You load people down with heavy burdens, but you won't lift a finger to help them carry the loads. ⁴⁷ Yes, you are really in for trouble. You build monuments to honor the prophets your own people murdered long ago.
