* As he spoke a Pharisee invited him to dine with him . He accepted the invitation and went to eat . * The Pharisee wondered about Jesus not bathing before dinner . * The Lord said : »You Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter . Yet your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness . * »You foolish ones . Did he that made the outside also make the inside ? * « Give that which is within as charity . Then all things are clean for you . * »Woe to you Pharisees ! You tithe mint and rue and every herb , and pass over justice and the love of God . You should have done these but you leave them undone . * »Woe to you Pharisees ! You love the prominent seats in the synagogues , and the greetings in the marketplaces . * »Woe to you ! You are as the tombs that do not appear and men walk over them and do not know it .« * One of the lawyers said to him : »Teacher , you also insult us by saying this .« * Jesus said : »Woe to you lawyers also ! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to bear . And you will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers . * »Woe to you ! For you build the tombs of the prophets , and your fathers killed them . * »Therefore you are witnesses and consent to the works of your fathers . They killed them and you build their tombs . * »It is for this reason the wisdom of God said , I send to them prophets and apostles and they will persecute and kill some of them . * »The blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation . * »This includes the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah , who perished between the altar and the sanctuary . I tell you it will be required of this generation . * »Woe to you lawyers , for you took away the key of knowledge . You did not enter in yourselves and you hindered those entering .« * When he left there the scribes and the Pharisees became hostile with him . They tried to quarrel with him about many things . * They plotted against him and tried to catch him in something he might say .
