And he said unto another, Follow me. But he [the man WU] said, Lord, suffer [allow] me
first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their [own] dead:
but go thou [you go] and preach the kingdom of God. Lk 9:59-60 Mat
8:22 Don't maintain close friendships with unbelievers and stay involved in their
activities. Rather, leave your old life behind and go proclaim the kingdom of God.
When the unclean [an evil WU] spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my [the WU] house from whence [which] I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished [put in order]. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Mat 12:43-45
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils [demons] are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over [to overcome WU] all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding [nevertheless] in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Lk 10:17-20

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have
the light, lest [so that WU] darkness [doesn't WU] come upon [overtake] you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither [where] he goeth. Jh 12:35 Those without the light of Christ do not know where their
lives are going.
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting [testing him] desired [asked] him that he would shew [show] them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern [interpret WU] the face [appearance] of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Mat 16:1-4, Mat 12:39

Woe unto you, scribes [experts in the law WU] and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion [greed
WU] and excess [self-indulgence WU]. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is
within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you,
scribes [experts in the law WU] and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited
sepulchres [whitened tombs], which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of
dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity [wickedness WU]. Mat 23:25-28 Lk 11:39 People may look righteous on the outside, but
inside be full of greed, self-indulgence, hypocrisy, and wickedness.
How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven [yeast] of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine [teaching] of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Mat 16:5-12 Be on your guard against the teachings of religious leaders who do not know God.
But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe [give God a tenth of your WU] mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment [neglect justice WU] and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. ........ Woe unto you, scribes [experts in the law WU] and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not [are unmarked WU], and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. ........ And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade [load] men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers [won't lift one finger to help carry them WU]. ........ Woe unto you, lawyers [experts in the law WU]! for ye have taken away the key of [to WU] knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Lk 11:42-52

And they shall say to you, See here [he is WU]; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth [flashes] out of the one part under heaven [of the sky WU], shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of [by] this generation. Lk 17:22-25 When Jesus comes back it will be like lightning flashing from one end of the sky to the other, so don’t be fooled by impostors.
