Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, (23:29) And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets (23:30) Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets (23:31) Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers (23:32) [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? (23:33) com1 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and [some] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to city: (23:34) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar (23:35) Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation (23:36) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not! (23:37) com2 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate (23:38) For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord
(23:39)
