“ How terrible for you authorities on the law! You have taken away the key to the door of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered. And you have stood in the way of those who were entering.”

你们律法师有祸了！因为你们把知识的钥匙夺了去，自己不进去，正要进去的人你们也阻挡他们。”

教法師其有禍乎、蓋爾奪知識之鑰、自不進、而反阻欲進者、○

“ Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”

Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”

“ What sorrow awaits you experts in religious law! For you remove the key to knowledge from the people. You don’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering.”

“ Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key to knowledge. You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were trying to go in.”

Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”

“ Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

“ Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge! You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in.”

Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”

“ How terrible it will be for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You pretenders! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter. And you will not let those enter who are trying to.

“ The lips of a priest should guard knowledge. After all, he is the messenger of the Lord who rules over all. And people seek instruction from his mouth.

We have to stop this thing. It must not spread any further among the people. We have to warn these men. They must never speak to anyone in Jesus’ name again.”Once again the leaders called in Peter and John. They commanded them not to speak or teach at all in Jesus’ name.

Again the Pharisees called the man who had been blind to come to them.“ Give glory to God by telling the truth!” they said.“ We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”He replied,“ I don’t know if he is a sinner or not. I do know one thing. I was blind, but now I can see!”Then they asked him,“ What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”He answered,“ I have already told you. But you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?”Then they began to attack him with their words.“ You are this fellow’s disciple!” they said.“ We are disciples of Moses!We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don’t even know where this fellow comes from.”The man answered,“ That is really surprising! You don’t know where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes.We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does what he wants them to do.Nobody has ever heard of anyone opening the eyes of a person born blind.If this man had not come from God, he could do nothing.”Then the Pharisees replied,“ When you were born, you were already deep in sin. How dare you talk like that to us!” And they threw him out of the synagogue.

“ You mean he has fooled you also?” the Pharisees asked.“ Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him?No! But this mob knows nothing about the law. There is a curse on them.”Then Nicodemus, a Pharisee, spoke. He was the one who had gone to Jesus earlier. He asked,“ Does our law find a man guilty without hearing him first? Doesn’t it want to find out what he is doing?”They replied,“ Are you from Galilee too? Look into it. You will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

An authority on the law spoke to Jesus. He said,“ Teacher, when you say things like that, you say bad things about us too.”Jesus replied,“ How terrible for you authorities on the law! You put such heavy loads on people that they can hardly carry them. But you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd spoke to Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ tell your disciples to stop!”“ I tell you,” he replied,“ if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

His speech won the leaders over. They called the apostles in and had them whipped. The leaders ordered them not to speak in Jesus’ name. Then they let the apostles go.
