40:023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
40:023:030 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.
40:023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
40:023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
40:023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
40:023:034 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:
40:023:035 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.
40:023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
40:023:037 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!
40:023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
