Matthew 23:29-35
29 “aWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you bear witness against yourselves, that you aare sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You serpents, ayou brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of bhell?
34 “aOn account of this, behold, bI am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will cflog in your synagogues, and dpersecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous aAbel to the blood of Zechariah, the bson of Berechiah, whom cyou murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
