Luke 11:44-46
Contemporary English Version

44 But you are in for trouble! You are like unmarked graves[a] that people walk on without even knowing it.

45 A teacher of the Law of Moses spoke up, “Teacher, you said cruel things about us.”

46 Jesus replied:

You teachers are also in for trouble! You load people down with heavy burdens, but you won't lift a finger to help them carry the loads.
