Luke 11:42-46 (Gospel)

42
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.
43
Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
44
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”
45
Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”
46
And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
