prophet. (30)For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be to this generation. (31)The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment against the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. (32)The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this generation, and shall condemn it, for they repented on the preaching of Jonah, and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here. (33)But no man lighting a lamp putteth it in a concealed place, or under a bushel, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light. (34)The lamp of the body is the eye: when therefore thine eye is clear, thy whole body will be luminous, but if it be vitiated, thy whole body will be darkened. (35)Let it be thy aim then, that the light which is in thee do not become darkness. (36)If then thy whole body be illuminated, not having any dark part, it will be wholly luminous, as a lamp by its brightness diffuseth light. (37)Now as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee invited him to dine with him; and going in with him, he sat down. (38)But the Pharisee seeing it, marvelled, that he had not washed before dinner.

(40)Ye senseless men! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within? (41)But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you. (42)But wo to you, Pharisees, because ye tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to have omitted the other. (43)Wo unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the places of public concourse. (44)Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves concealed, which men, while walking over them, see not. (45)Then one of the doctors of the law addressing him, said, Master, thus speaking, thou reproachest us also. (46)And he said, Wo also to you, teachers of the law! for ye load men with burdens hardly bearable, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. (47)Wo unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. (48)Ye do indeed bear witness to, and with pleasure concur in
