Matthew 23:32-39

Living_Oracles(i) 32 Fill you up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 Ah! serpents, offspring of vipers! how can you escape the punishment of hell? 34 Therefore, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will scourge in your synagogues, and banish from city to city; 35 so that all the innocent blood shed upon the earth shall be charged upon you, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the altar and the sanctuary. 36 Indeed, I say to you, all shall be charged upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! who killest the prophets, and stonest them whom God sends to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you would not! 38 Soon shall your habitation be turned into a desert; 39 for know, that you shall not henceforth see me, until you say, Blessed be He, who comes in the name of the Lord.
