Matthew 23:29-39
29“1WoeG3759 to you, scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! For you buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396 and adornG2885 the monumentsG3419 of the righteousG1342, 30and sayG3004, ‘IfG1487 we had beenG1510 living in the daysG2250 of our fathersG3962, we would not have beenG1510 partnersG2844 with them in shedding the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.’ 31SoG5620 you testifyG3140 against yourselvesG1438, that you 2are 3sonsG5207 of thoseG3588 who murderedG5407 the prophetsG4396. 32FillG4137 up, thenG2532, the measureG3358 of the guilt of your fathersG3962. 33You serpentsG3789, 4you broodG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 5will you escapeG5343 the 6sentenceG2920 of 78hellG1067?
34“9ThereforeG1223G3778, beholdG2400, 10I am sendingG649 you prophetsG4396 and wiseG4680 menG4680 and scribesG1122; someG1537 of them you will killG615 and crucifyG4717, and someG1537 of them you will 11scourgeG3146 in your synagoguesG4864, and 12persecuteG1377 from cityG4172 to cityG4172, 35soG3704 that upon you may fallG2064 the guilt of allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 on earthG1093, from the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 13AbelG6 to the bloodG129 of ZechariahG2197, the 14sonG5207 of BerechiahG914, whomG3739 15you murderedG5407 betweenG3342 the 16templeG3485 and the altarG2379. 36TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 will comeG2240 upon 17thisG3778 generationG1074.
37“18JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, who 19killsG615 the prophetsG4396 and stonesG3036 thoseG3588 who are sentG649 to her! HowG4212 oftenG4212 I wantedG2309 to gatherG1996 your childrenG5043 togetherG1996, 20the wayG5158 a henG3733 gathersG1996 her chicksG3556 underG5259 her wingsG4420, and you were unwillingG3756G2309. 38BeholdG2400, 21your houseG3624 is being leftG863 to you desolateG2048! 39For I sayG3004 to you, from nowG737 on you will not seeG3708 Me untilG2193 you sayG3004, ‘22BlessedG2127 is He who comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!’”
