| Luke 11:40 | Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also? | Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? | O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside? |
| Luke 11:41 | But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you. | But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you. | But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you. |
| Luke 11:42 | But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone. | "But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others. | But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone. |

| Luke 11:47 | Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. | Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed. | A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death. |
| Luke 11:48 | Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. | It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build. | So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places. |
| Luke 11:49 | Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay and persecute: | "For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, `I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,' | For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains; |
