AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴⁹ Therefore, the wisdom of God said, [Note: Is this a reference to Jesus? See I Cor. 1:30 and Matt. 23:34-36], ‘I will send prophets and apostles to them [i.e., the Jewish people] and they will kill and persecute some of them, ⁵⁰ so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation of people.’ ⁵¹ Yes, I tell you, this generation will be punished [for the death of the prophets], from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who died between the Altar and the sanctuary [i.e., in the Temple area]. [Note: This punishment began about 37 years later in the war with the Romans, when Jerusalem was destroyed].
