Seeker Overlay ON

* And when the people were gathered thick together (5746 ), he began (5662 ) to say (5721 ), This is (5748 ) an evil generation : they seek (5719 ) a sign ; and there shall no sign be given (5701 ) it , but the sign of Jonas the prophet . * For as Jonas was (5633 ) a sign unto the Ninevites , so shall also the Son of man be (5704 ) to this generation . * The queen of the south shall rise up (5701 ) in the judgment with the men of this generation , and condemn (5692 ) them : for she came (5627 ) from the utmost parts of the earth to hear (5658 ) the wisdom of Solomon ; and , behold (5628 ), a greater than Solomon is here . * The men of Nineve shall rise up (5698 ) in the judgment with this generation , and shall condemn (5692 ) it : for they repented (5656 ) at the preaching of Jonas ; and , behold (5628 ), a greater than Jonas is here . * No man , when he hath lighted (5660 ) a candle , putteth (5719 ) it in a secret place , neither under a bushel , but on a candlestick , that they which come in (5740 ) may see (5725 ) the light . * The light of the body is (5748 ) the eye : therefore when thine eye is (5753 ) single , thy whole body also is (5748 ) full of light ; but when thine eye is (5753 ) evil , thy body also is full of darkness . * Take heed (5720 ) therefore that the light which is in thee be (5748 ) not darkness . * If thy whole body therefore be full of light , having (5723 ) no part dark , the whole shall be (5704 ) full of light , as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light (5725 ). * And as he spake (5658 ), a certain Pharisee besought (5707 ) him to dine (5661 ) with him : and he went in (5631 ), and sat down to meat (5627 ). * And when the Pharisee saw (5631 ) it , he marvelled (5656 ) that he had not first washed (5681 ) before dinner . * And the Lord said (5627 ) unto him , Now do ye Pharisees make clean (5719 ) the outside of the cup and the platter ; but your inward part is full (5719 ) of ravening and wickedness . * Ye fools , did not he that made (5660 ) that which is without make (5656 ) that which is within also ? * But rather give (5628 ) alms of such things as ye have (5752 ); and , behold (5628 ), all things are (5748 ) clean unto you . * But woe unto you , Pharisees ! for ye tithe (5719 ) mint and rue and all manner of herbs , and pass over (5736 ) judgment and the love of God : these ought ye (5713 ) to have done (5658 ), and not to leave the other undone (5721 ). * Woe unto you , Pharisees ! for ye love (5719 ) the uppermost seats in the synagogues , and greetings in the markets . * Woe unto you , scribes and Pharisees , hypocrites ! for ye are (5748 ) as graves which appear not , and the men that walk (5723 ) over them are not aware (5758 ) of them . * Then answered (5679 ) one of the lawyers , and said (5719 ) unto him , Master , thus saying (5723 ) thou reproachest (5719 ) us also . * And he said (5627 ), Woe unto you also , ye lawyers ! for ye lade (5719 ) men with burdens grievous to be borne , and ye yourselves touch (5719 ) not the burdens with one of your fingers . * Woe unto you ! for ye build (5719 ) the sepulchres of the prophets , and your fathers killed (5656 ) them . * Truly ye bear witness (5719 ) that ye allow (5719 ) the deeds of your fathers : for they indeed killed (5656 ) them , and ye build (5719 ) their sepulchres . * Therefore also said (5627 ) the wisdom of God , I will send (5692 ) them prophets and apostles , and some of them they shall slay (5692 ) and persecute (5692 ): * That the blood of all the prophets , which was shed (5746 ) from the foundation of the world , may be required (5686 ) of this generation ; * From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias , which perished (5642 ) between the altar and the temple : verily I say (5719 ) unto you , It shall be required (5701 ) of this generation . * Woe unto you , lawyers ! for ye have taken away (5656 ) the key of knowledge : ye entered not in (5627 ) yourselves , and them that were entering in (5740 ) ye hindered (5656 ). * And as he said (5723 ) these things unto them , the scribes and the Pharisees began (5662 ) to urge (5721 ) him vehemently , and to provoke him to speak (5721 ) of many things : * Laying wait for (5723 ) him , and seeking (5723 ) to catch (5658 ) something out of his mouth , that they might accuse (5661 ) him .
