Bible verse
One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
Luke 11:45 · BSB
The verses around it, from Luke 11.
41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
