Notes

Luke 11:51

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah: Abel's murder by his brother Cain was the first murder recorded in the Old Testament (Genesis 4:8). The stoning of Zechariah, son of Jehoiada (2 Chronicles 24:20–22), was the last, since Chronicles is the last book in the Hebrew Bible.

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).
