32. “The men of Ninewĕh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Yonah, and look, a greater than Yonah is here.

33. “And no one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in shall see the light.

34. “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, all your body also is enlightened. But when your eye is evil, your body also is darkened.

35. “See to it therefore that the light which is in you is not darkness.

36. “If then all your body is enlightened, having no part dark, all shall be enlightened, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

37. And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him, so He went in and sat down to eat.

40. “Mindless ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

41. “But give in kindness of that which is within, and see, all are clean to you.

42. “But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe the mint and the rue and every plant, and pass by the right-ruling and the love of Elohim. These you should have done, without leaving the others undone.

43. “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the best seats in the congregations and the greetings in the market-places.

44. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are like the unseen tombs, and the men walking over them do not know.”

45. And one of those learned in the Torah, answering, said to Him, “Teacher, when You say this You insult us too.”

46. And He said, “Woe to you also, you learned in the Torah, because you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
