v.45 1. Like application to Pharisees- same quality approach to life.

(Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto Him, Master, thus saying

thou reproachest us also.)

The view that truth tramples on someone’s views of life.

Truth always supports God’s view of life.

v.46 2. Hypocritical lading of complex burdens on men- dual standards.

(And He said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens

grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of 

your fingers.)

v.47 3. Openly aggressive, cooperate with those opposing Godly foundations, join

them.

(Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your

fathers killed them.)

Planning the demise of truth

v.48 4. Justify rebellions of past against God.

(Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they

indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.)

v.49 5. They have no interest in truth, see no relevancy.

(Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and

apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: )

v.50 6. Will be kept accountable for their unjust deeds.

(That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of 

the world, may be required of this generation;)

v.50 7. Cumulative transgression shall visit them.

   51 (From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished

between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required 

of this generation.)
