[:en]Thoughts from Luke 11:5-28[:]

[:en]”Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (v. 9)

“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters” (v. 23)

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it” (v. 28)

“Your eye is the lamp of your body.  When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light.  But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness” (v. 34)

Six Woes addressed to the Pharisees (who clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside are full of greed and wickedness) and the experts in the law:

  1. You give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.
  2. You love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
  3. You are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it
  4. You load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them
  5. You build tombs for the prophets, and it was your forefathers who killed them.
  6. You have taken away the key to knowledge.  You yourselves have not entered and you have hindered those who were entering
