11:28. But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of
God and keep it.
11:29. And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This
generation is a wicked generation. It asketh a sign: and a sign shall
not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
11:30. For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man
also be to this generation.
11:31. The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of
this generation and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends
of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold more than Solomon
here.
11:32. The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation
and shall condemn it; Because they did penance at the preaching of
Jonas. And behold more than Jonas here.
11:33. No man lighteth a candle and putteth it in a hidden place, nor
under a bushel: but upon a candlestick, that they that come in may see
the light.
11:34. The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole
body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be
darksome.
11:35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
darkness.
11:36. If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness:
the whole shall be lightsome and, as a bright lamp, shall enlighten
thee.
11:37. And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him that he
would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.
11:38. And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he
was not washed before dinner.
11:39. And the Lord said to him: Now you, Pharisees, make clean the
outside of the cup and of the platter: but your inside is full of rapine
and iniquity.
11:40. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make also
that which is within?
11:41. But yet that which remaineth, give alms: and behold, all things
are clean unto you.
11:42. But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and
every herb and pass over judgment and the charity of God. Now these
things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
11:43. Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in
the synagogues and salutations in the marketplace.
11:44. Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not: and
men that walk over are not aware.
11:45. And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying
these things, thou reproachest us also.
11:46. But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with
burdens which they cannot bear and you yourselves touch not the packs
with one of your fingers.
Woe to you lawyers... He speaks of the doctors of the law of Moses,
commonly called the scribes.
11:47. Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your
fathers killed them.
Woe to you who build, etc... Not that the building of the monuments of
the prophets was in itself blameworthy, but only the intention of these
unhappy men, who made use of this outward shew of religion and piety, as
a means to carry on their wicked designs against the prince of prophets.
11:48. Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your
fathers. For they indeed killed them: and you build their sepulchres.
