Luke 11:46 in Context — Luke 11

44 Ai de vós, escribas e fariseus, hipócritas, que sois como as sepulturas disfarçadas, e as pessoas que andam sobre elas não sabem.

45 E respondendo um dos estudiosos da Lei, disse-lhe: Mestre, quando dizes isto também afrontas a nós.

46 Porém ele disse: Ai de vós também, estudiosos da Lei, que carregais as pessoas com cargas pesadas para levar, e vós mesmos nem ainda com um de vossos dedos tais cargas tocais.

47 Ai de vós, que construís os sepulcros dos profetas, e vossos pais os mataram.

48 Bem testemunhais pois, que também consentis nas obras de vossos pais; porque eles os mataram, e vós edificais seus sepulcros.
