Matthew 23:35-38

35so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous 1Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the 2son of Berechiah, whom 3you murdered between the 4temple and the altar. 36Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon 5this generation.

37“6Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who 7kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, 8the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38Behold, 9your house is being left to you desolate!
