Notes

Luke 11:48

They killed the prophets: See 1 Kings 19:10, 14; Nehemiah 9:26; Jeremiah 2:30; 26:20–24. Luke presents Jesus as the suffering prophet (Luke 4:22–24). The suffering prophet is a prophet sent by God who is rejected and suffers. Luke shows that Jesus fits this pattern.

Luke 11:42–52

Woe to you Pharisees! Woes are the opposite of blessings (see study note on 6:24–26). Jesus pronounced six woes. Three were against the Pharisees (11:42, 43, 44) and three were against the teachers of religious law (11:46, 47, 52).
