Matthew 23:29-37

CLV(i) 29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are building the sepulchers of the prophets and adorning the tombs of the just, 30 and you are saying, 'If we were in the days of our fathers, we would not be participants with them in the blood of the prophets.'" 31 So that you are testifying to yourselves that you are the sons of those who murder the prophets. 32 And you! Fill full the measure of your father! 33 Serpents! Progeny of vipers! How may you be fleeing from the judging of Gehenna? 34 Therefore, lo! I am dispatching to you prophets and wise men and scribes. Of them, some you will be killing and crucifying, and of them, some you will be scourging in your synagogues and persecuting from city to city, 35 so that on you should be coming all the just blood shed on the earth, from the blood of just Abel until the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murder between the temple and the altar." 36 Verily, I am saying to you: All these things will be arriving on this generation." 37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! who art killing the prophets and pelting with stones those who have been dispatched to her! How many times do I want to assemble your children in the manner a hen is assembling her brood under her wings-and you will not!"
