Luke 11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:42 But woe unto 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 other undone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:49Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luke 11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
People from wicked backgrounds and ungodly heritages will inherit the promises of Abraham, through Christ, He announced to them, clearly. You will be trying to pay God back for the blood of the prophets that were given for your enlightenment and others will be basking in the light of redemption accomplished. Come to Jesus, was the message. A day is coming where none of you self righteous deeds will account for anything and you are living in that day now. To have the privilege of knowing the heart of God, through His Word and not accepting the payment for sin, once accomplished, is a judgement of blindness. There is no greater blindness. God is merciful and He still stands ready to save the foulest as the Queen of the South, or the Ninevites or the most self righteous as the Pharisees or the Lawyers. Jesus ready stands to save us, full of pity, grace and power.
