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.11.34
Your eye is a lamp, lighting up your whole body. If you live wide-eyed in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust, your body is a dank cellar.

Luke.11.35
Keep your eyes open, your lamp burning, so you don't get musty and murky.
Luke.11.35
See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
Luke.11.35
Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.
Luke.11.35
Make sure that the light you think you have is not really 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.11.36
Keep your life as well-lighted as your best-lighted room."
Luke.11.36
Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."
Luke.11.36
If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."
Luke.11.36
If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight is shining on you."

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.11.39
But the Master said to him, "I know you Pharisees burnish the surface of your cups and plates so they sparkle in the sun, but I also know your insides are maggoty with greed and secret evil.
Luke.11.39
Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.

Luke.11.40
Stupid Pharisees! Didn't the One who made the outside also make the inside?
Luke.11.40
You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

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.11.42
"I've had it with you! You're hopeless, you Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but manage to find loopholes for getting around basic matters of justice and God's love. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required.
Luke.11.42
"Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.
Luke.11.42
"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.
Luke.11.42

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.11.44
Frauds! You're just like unmarked graves: People walk over that nice, grassy surface, never suspecting the rot and corruption that is six feet under."
Luke.11.44
"Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it."
Luke.11.44
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."
Luke.11.44
Yes, how terrible it will be for you. For you are like hidden graves in a field. People walk over them without knowing the corruption they are stepping on."
Luke.11.45
Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
Luke.11.45
One of the religion scholars spoke up: "Teacher, do you realize that in saying these things you're insulting us?"
Luke.11.45

"Teacher," said an expert in religious law, "you have insulted us, too, in what you just said."
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.11.46
He said, "Yes, and I can be even more explicit. You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You load people down with rules and regulations, nearly breaking their backs, but never lift even a finger to help.
Luke.11.46
Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
Luke.11.46
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.
Luke.11.46

Luke.11.47
Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke.11.47

Luke.11.47
How terrible it will be for you! For you build tombs for the very prophets your ancestors killed long ago.
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.11.48
The tombs you build are monuments to your murdering ancestors more than to the murdered prophets.
Luke.11.48
So you testify that you approve of what your forefathers did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
Luke.11.48
In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
Luke.11.48
Murderers! You agree with your ancestors that what they did was right. You would have done the same yourselves.
Luke.11.49
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
Luke.11.49

Luke.11.49
Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.'
Luke.11.49

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was struck down between altar and sanctuary, is on your heads. Yes, it's on the bill of this generation and this generation will pay.
Luke.11.51
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.

Luke.11.51
from the murder of Abel to the murder of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, it will surely be charged against you.
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.11.52
"You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You took the key of knowledge, but instead of unlocking doors, you locked them. You won't go in yourself, and won't let anyone else in either."
Luke.11.52
"Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering."
Luke.11.52
"Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
Luke.11.52
"How terrible it will be for you experts in religious law! For you hide the key to knowledge from the people. You don't enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering."
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.11.53
As soon as Jesus left the table, the religion scholars and Pharisees went into a rage. They went over and over everything he said,
Luke.11.53
When Jesus left there, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions,
Luke.11.53
And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,
Luke.11.53
As Jesus finished speaking, the Pharisees and teachers of religious law were furious. From that time on they grilled him with many hostile questions,
Luke.11.54
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Luke.11.54
plotting how they could trap him in something from his own mouth.
Luke.11.54
waiting to catch him in something he might say.
Luke.11.54
lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.
Luke.11.54
trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him.
