Matthew 23:29-37

Rotherham(i) 29 Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say––If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their partners in the blood of the prophets: 31 So that ye bear witness against yourselves, that ye are, sons, of them who murdered the prophets. 32 And, ye, fill ye up the measure of your fathers! 33 Serpents! broods of vipers! how should ye flee from the judgment of gehenna?
34 For this cause, lo! I, send unto you, prophets and wise men and scribes,––some from among them, ye will slay and crucify, And some from among them ye will––scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city: 35 That there may come upon you––all righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the Temple and the altar. 36 Verily, I say unto you––All these things, will have come, upon this generation. 37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that have been sent unto her,––how often, would I have gathered thy children, like as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,––and ye would not!
