SCRIPTURE

"And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also." — Luke 11:45 (ASV)

Thou reproachest us also (κα ημας υβριζεις). Because the lawyers (scribes) were usually Pharisees. The verb υβριζω is an old one and common for outrageous treatment, a positive insult (Matthew 22:6; Acts 14; 5; 1 Thessalonians 2:2). So Jesus proceeds to give the lawyers three woes as he had done to the Pharisees.
