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.
32. The men of Nineveh will rise at the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation. And indeed, one greater than Jonah is here.
33. “No one lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on the lampstand so that those entering may see the light.
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 sick, your body is full of darkness.
35. Therefore, watch out that the light in you is not darkness.
36. If then your body is full of light, with no part of it dark, it will be as full of light as when a lamp gives you light with its gleam.”
37. As He spoke, a Pharisee asked Yeshua to eat with him, so He entered and sat down.
38. But the Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Yeshua did not do the ritual handwashing before the meal.
39. But the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and plate, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
40. Fools! Didn’t He who created the outside also create the inside?
41. But give as tzadakah those things that are within, and indeed everything is pure to you.
42. “But woe to you Pharisees, for you tithe mint, rue, and every garden herb, yet bypass justice and the love of God. It is necessary to do these things without neglecting the others.
43. Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44. Woe to you, for you are like unmarked tombs, and people walk over them without knowing.”
45. But answering, one of the Torah lawyers says to Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us too.”
46. Then Yeshua said, “Woe to you Torah lawyers as well, for you weigh the people down with burdens hard to carry, yet you yourselves will not touch the burdens with even a finger.
47. “Woe to you, for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your own fathers killed!
48. So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers, for indeed they killed them and you are building their tombs.
