Luke 11

English Standard Version

1 Now Jesus[1] was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” (Lu 5:33)2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. (Isa 29:23; Mt 3:2; Mt 4:17; Mt 6:9; Lu 1:49; Joh 17:6; Joh 20:17; 1Pe 1:17; 1Pe 3:15)3 Give us each day our daily bread,[2] (Pr 30:8; Mt 6:34)4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.” (Mt 26:41; Mr 14:38; Lu 7:48; Lu 22:40; Lu 22:46; 1Co 10:13)5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence[3] he will rise and give him whatever he needs. (Lu 18:1)9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (1Ch 28:9; 2Ch 15:2; Pr 8:17; Isa 55:6; Jer 29:13; Mt 7:7; Mt 18:19; Mt 21:22; Mr 11:24; Joh 14:13; Joh 15:7; Joh 15:16; Joh 16:23; Jas 1:5; Jas 1:17; 1Jo 3:22; 1Jo 5:14; Re 3:20)10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.11 What father among you, if his son asks for[4] a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Ge 6:5; Ge 8:21; Mt 12:34; Joh 4:10; Ac 2:38)14 Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. (Mt 9:32; Mt 12:22)15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” (Mt 10:25)16 while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. (Joh 8:6)17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. (Mt 9:4; Mt 12:25; Mr 3:23)18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. (2Ki 2:7; Ac 19:13)20 But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Ex 8:19; Ex 31:18; De 9:10; Ps 8:3; Mt 19:24; Mt 21:31; Mt 21:43; Lu 17:21)21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. (Isa 49:24; Isa 53:12; Joh 16:33; Eph 6:11)23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. (Mt 12:30; Mr 9:40; Lu 9:50)24 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ (Ps 63:1; Jer 2:6; Mt 12:43)25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.” (Joh 5:14; 2Pe 2:20)27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” (2Ch 9:7; Lu 1:48; Lu 12:13)28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Le 22:31; Lu 8:21; Jas 1:22; Re 1:3; Re 22:7)29 When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. (Mt 12:38; Mt 12:39; Mr 8:11; Lu 11:16; Lu 12:1)30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. (Jon 1:17)31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. (1Ki 10:1; 2Ch 9:1; Jer 3:11; Eze 16:51; Mt 12:6; Ro 2:27; Heb 11:7)32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. (Jon 1:2; Jon 3:5; Lu 11:31)33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. (Mt 5:15; Mr 4:21; Lu 8:16)34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. (De 15:9; Mt 6:22)35 Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. (Lu 11:34)36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” (Mt 5:16)37 While Jesus[5] was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. (Lu 7:36; Lu 14:1)38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. (Mt 15:2; Mr 7:3)39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. (Mt 23:25; Lu 16:14; Lu 20:47)40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? (Lu 11:39; Lu 12:20)41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. (Da 4:27; Lu 12:33; Lu 16:9; Tit 1:15)42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. (De 14:22; 1Sa 15:22; Ps 33:5; Jer 5:1; Mic 6:8; Zec 7:9; Mt 23:23; Lu 18:12; 1Jo 3:17)43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. (Mt 23:6; Mr 12:38; Lu 14:7; Lu 20:46)44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” (Mt 23:27)45 One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” (Lu 7:30; Lu 11:46; Lu 11:52)46 And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. (Mt 11:28; Mt 23:4; Lu 11:45; Lu 11:52; Ac 15:10)47 Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. (Mt 23:29)48 So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. (Mt 23:31; Ac 7:51; Ro 1:32)49 Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ (Pr 8:12; Pr 8:22; Pr 8:30; Mt 11:19; Mt 21:35; Mt 23:34; Lu 7:35; Ac 13:1; 1Co 1:24; 1Co 1:30; 1Co 12:28; Col 2:3; 1Th 2:15)50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, (Ge 42:22; 2Ch 24:22; Eze 3:18; Mt 13:35; Re 18:24)51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. (Ge 4:4; Ge 4:8; Ex 40:6; 2Ki 16:14; 2Ch 24:20; Eze 40:47; Lu 11:50; Heb 11:4; 1Jo 3:12)52 Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” (Mal 2:7; Mt 5:20; Mt 21:31; Mt 23:13; Lu 7:30; Lu 11:45; Ro 2:20)53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things,54 lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say. (Isa 29:21; Mt 22:15; Mr 3:2; Mr 12:13; Lu 20:20; Joh 8:6)

Luke 11

الكتاب المقدس

1 وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي أَحَدِ الأَمَاكِنِ، فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى، قَالَ لَهُ أَحَدُ تَلامِيذِهِ: «يَا رَبُّ، عَلِّمْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ كَمَا عَلَّمَ يُوحَنَّا تَلامِيذَهُ».2 فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «عِنْدَمَا تُصَلُّونَ، قُولُوا: أَبَانَا الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ! لِيَتَقَدَّسِ اسْمُكَ، لِيَأْتِ مَلَكُوتُكَ. لِتَكُنْ مَشِيئَتُكَ كَمَا فِي السَّمَاءِ كَذلِكَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.3 خُبْزَنَا كَفَافَنَا أَعْطِنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ؛4 وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا خَطَايَانَا، لأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً نَغْفِرُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ يُذْنِبُ إِلَيْنَا؛ وَلا تُدْخِلْنَا فِي تَجْرِبَةٍ لكِنْ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الشِّرِّيرِ!»5 ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يَكُونُ لَهُ صَدِيقٌ، فَيَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي مُنْتَصَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ: يَا صَدِيقِي، أَقْرِضْنِي ثَلاثَةَ أَرْغِفَةٍ،6 فَقَدْ جَاءَنِي صَدِيقٌ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، وَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أُقَدِّمُ لَهُ!7 لكِنَّ صَدِيقَهُ يُجِيبُهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ: لَا تُزْعِجْنِي! فَقَدْ أَقْفَلْتُ الْبَابَ، وَهَا أَنَا وَأَوْلادِي فِي الْفِرَاشِ. لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَقُومَ وَأُعْطِيَكَ!8 أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَقُومُ وَيُعْطِيهِ لأَنَّهُ صَدِيقُهُ، فَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَقُومَ وَيُعْطِيَهُ قَدْرَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ، لأَنَّهُ أَلَحَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ.9 فَإِنِّي أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: اسْأَلُوا، تُعْطَوْا؛ اطْلُبُوا، تَجِدُوا؛ اقْرَعُوا، يُفْتَحْ لَكُمْ:10 فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَسْأَلْ يَنَلْ، وَمَنْ يَسْعَ يَجِدْ، وَمَنْ يَقْرَعْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ.11 فَأَيُّ أَبٍ مِنْكُمْ يَطْلُبُ مِنْهُ ابْنُهُ خُبْزاً فَيُعْطِيهِ حَجَراً؟ أَوْ يَطْلُبُ سَمَكَةً فَيُعْطِيهِ بَدَلَ السَّمَكَةِ حَيَّةً؟12 أَوْ يَطْلُبُ بَيْضَةً، فَيُعْطِيهِ عَقْرَباً؟13 فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ، أَنْتُمُ الأَشْرَارُ، تَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوا أَوْلادَكُمْ عَطَايَا جَيِّدَةً، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى الآبُ، الَّذِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَهَبُ الرُّوحَ الْقُدُسَ لِمَنْ يَسْأَلُونَهُ؟»14 وَكَانَ يَطْرُدُ شَيْطَاناً (مِن رَجُلٍ) كَانَ ذلِكَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَدْ أَخْرَسَهُ. فَلَمَّا طُرِدَ الشَّيْطَانُ، نَطَقَ الأَخْرَسُ. فَتَعَجَّبَتِ الجُمُوعُ.15 وَلكِنَّ بَعْضاً مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا: «إِنَّمَا يَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ رَئِيسِ الشَّيَاطِينِ».16 وَطَلَبَ مِنْهُ آخَرُونَ، لِيُجَرِّبُوهُ، مُعْجِزَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ.17 وَلكِنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَفْكَارَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «كُلُّ مَمْلَكَةٍ تَنْقَسِمُ عَلَى ذَاتِهَا تَخْرَبُ، وَكُلُّ بَيْتٍ (يَنْقَسِمُ) عَلَى بَيْتٍ يَسْقُطُ.18 فَإِنْ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ كَذلِكَ قَدِ انْقَسَمَ عَلَى ذَاتِهِ، فَكَيْفَ تَصْمُدُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ؟ فَقَدْ قُلْتُمْ إِنِّي أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ.19 وَلكِنْ، إِنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ بِمَنْ يَطْرُدُونَهُمْ؟ لِذلِكَ هُمْ يَحْكُمُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ.20 أَمَّا إِذَا كُنْتُ أَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ بِإِصْبَعِ اللهِ، فَقَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَلَكُوتُ اللهِ.21 عِنْدَمَا يَحْرُسُ الْقَوِيُّ بَيْتَهُ وَهُوَ بِكَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ، تَكُونُ أَمْتِعَتُهُ فِي مَأْمَنٍ.22 وَلكِنْ عِنْدَمَا يَغْزُوهُ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ فَيَغْلِبُهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يُجَرِّدُهُ مِنْ كَامِلِ سِلاحِهِ الَّذِي اعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُوَزِّعُ غَنَائِمَهُ.23 مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعِي، فَهُوَ ضِدِّي؛ وَمَنْ لَا يَجْمَعُ مَعِي، فَهُوَ يُفَرِّقُ.24 بَعْدَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الرُّوحُ النَّجِسُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، يَهِيمُ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ الْقَاحِلَةِ طَلَباً لِلرَّاحَةِ، وَإِذْ لَا يَجِدُ، يَقُولُ: سَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي الَّذِي غَادَرْتُهُ!25 وَعِنْدَمَا يَأْتِي، يَجِدُهُ مَكْنُوساً مُزَيَّناً.26 فَيَذْهَبُ وَيَصْطَحِبُ سَبْعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ أُخَرَ أَرْدَأَ مِنْهُ، فَتَدْخُلُ ذلِكَ الإِنْسَانَ وَتَسْكُنُهُ، فَتَصِيرُ الْحَالَةُ الأَخِيرَةُ لِذلِكَ الإِنْسَانِ أَرْدَأَ مِنَ الأُولَى!»27 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهَذَا، رَفَعَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْجَمْعِ صَوْتَهَا قَائِلَةً لَهُ: «طُوبَى لِلْبَطْنِ الَّذِي حَمَلَكَ، وَالثَّدْيَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ رَضَعْتَهُمَا!»28 إِلّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «بَلْ طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِها».29 وَإِذْ كَانَتِ الْجُمُوعُ تَزْدَحِمُ عَلَيْهِ، أَخَذَ يَقُولُ: «هَذَا الْجِيلُ جِيلٌ شِرِّيرٌ، يَطْلُبُ مُعْجِزَةً وَلَنْ يُعْطَى مُعْجِزَةً إِلّا مُعْجِزَةَ يُونَانَ.30 فَإِنَّهُ كَمَا كَانَ يُونَانُ آيَةً لأَهْلِ نِينَوَى، فَهكَذَا أَيْضاً يَكُونُ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ لِهَذَا الْجِيلِ.31 إِنَّ مَلِكَةَ الْجَنُوبِ سَتَقُومُ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَتَدِينُهُ لأَنَّهَا جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ!32 وَأَهْلُ نِينَوَى سَيَقِفُونَ فِي الدَّيْنُونَةِ مَعَ هَذَا الْجِيلِ وَيَدِينُونَهُ: لأَنَّهُمْ تَابُوا لَدَى وَعْظِ يُونَانَ لَهُمْ. وَهَا هُنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ يُونَانَ.33 لَا أَحَدَ يُشْعِلُ مِصْبَاحاً وَيَضَعُهُ فِي مَكَانٍ مَخْفِيٍّ أَوْ تَحْتَ الْمِكْيَالِ، بَلْ يَرْفَعُهُ عَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ لِيَرَى الدَّاخِلُونَ النُّورَ.34 عَيْنُكَ هِيَ مِصْبَاحُ الْجَسَدِ: إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ سَلِيمَةً، يَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً؛ أَمَّا إِذَا كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ شِرِّيرَةً، فَيَكُونُ جَسَدُكَ أَيْضاً مُظْلِماً.35 فَتَنَبَّهْ إِذَنْ لِئَلّا يَكُونَ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيكَ ظَلاماً.36 إِذَنْ، إِنْ كَانَ جَسَدُكَ كُلُّهُ مُنَوَّراً وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ جَانِبٌ مُظْلِمٌ، فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُنَوَّراً بِكَامِلِهِ، كَأَنَّمَا أَنَارَ لَكَ الْمِصْبَاحُ بِإِشْعَاعِهِ!»37 وَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ أَنْ يَتَغَدَّى عِنْدَهُ. فَدَخَلَ (بَيْتَهُ) وَاتَّكَأَ.38 وَلكِنَّ الْفَرِّيسِيَّ تَعَجَّبَ لَمَّا رَأَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ قَبْلَ الْغَدَاءِ.39 فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «أَنْتُمُ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ تُنَظِّفُونَ الْكَأْسَ وَالصَّحْفَةَ مِنَ الْخَارِجِ، وَلكِنَّكُمْ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ مَمْلُوؤُونَ نَهْباً وَخُبْثاً.40 أَيُّهَا الأَغْبِيَاءُ، أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ الْخَارِجَ قَدْ صَنَعَ الدَّاخِلَ أَيْضاً؟41 أَحْرَى بِكُمْ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقُوا بِمَا عِنْدَكُمْ، فَيَكُونُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ طَاهِراً لَكُمْ.42 وَلكِنِ الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تَدْفَعُونَ عُشْرَ النَّعْنَعِ وَالسَّذَّابِ وَالْبُقُولِ الأُخْرَى، وَتَتَجَاوَزُونَ عَنِ الْعَدْلِ وَمَحَبَّةِ اللهِ: كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا هَذَا وَلا تُهْمِلُوا ذَاكَ!43 الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحِبُّونَ تَصَدُّرَ الْمَقَاعِدِ الأُولَى فِي الْمَجَامِعِ وَتَلَقِّي التَّحِيَّاتِ فِي السَّاحَاتِ الْعَامَّةِ!44 الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُشْبِهُونَ الْقُبُورَ الْمَخْفِيَّةَ، يَمْشِي النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ!»45 وَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ، قَائِلاً لَهُ: «يَا مُعَلِّمُ، إِنَّكَ بِقَوْلِكَ هَذَا تُهِينُنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً».46 فَقَالَ: «وَالْوَيْلُ أَيْضاً لَكُمْ يَا عُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تُحَمِّلُونَ النَّاسَ أَحْمَالاً مُرْهِقَةً، وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَمَسُّونَهَا بِإِصْبَعٍ مِنْ أَصَابِعِكُمْ!47 الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنَّكُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ قَتَلُوهُمْ.48 فَأَنْتُمْ إِذَنْ تَشْهَدُونَ مُوَافِقِينَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِ آبَائِكُمْ: فَهُمْ قَتَلُوا الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَبْنُونَ قُبُورَهُمْ.49 لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَيْضاً قَالَتْ حِكْمَةُ اللهِ: سَأُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَرُسُلاً، فَيَقْتُلُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَيَضْطَهِدُونَ،50 حَتَّى إِنَّ دِمَاءَ جَمِيعِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ الْمَسْفُوكَةَ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، يُطَالَبُ بِها هَذَا الْجِيلُ،51 مِنْ دَمِ هَابِيلَ إِلَى دَمِ زَكَرِيَّا الَّذِي قُتِلَ بَيْنَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَالْقُدْسِ! أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: نَعَمْ، إِنَّ تِلْكَ الدِّمَاءَ يُطَالَبُ بِها هَذَا الْجِيلُ.52 الْوَيْلُ لَكُمْ يَا عُلَمَاءَ الشَّرِيعَةِ، فَإِنَّكُمْ خَطِفْتُمْ مِفْتَاحَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ، فَلا أَنْتُمْ دَخَلْتُمْ وَلا تَرَكْتُمُ الدَّاخِلِينَ يَدْخُلُونَ!»53 وَفيِمَا هُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، بَدَأَ الْكَتَبَةُ وَالْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ يُضَيِّقُونَ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيراً، وَأَخَذُوا يَسْتَدْرِجُونَهُ إِلَى الْكَلامِ فِي أُمُورٍ كَثِيرَةٍ،54 وَهُمْ يُرَاقِبُونَهُ سَعْياً إِلَى اصْطِيَادِهِ بِكَلامٍ يَقُولُهُ.
