Matthew 23:31-37

31So you testify against yourselves, that you 1are 2sons of those who murdered the prophets. 323Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33You snakes, 4you 5offspring of vipers, how 6will you escape the 7sentence of 89hell?

34“10Therefore, behold, 11I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will 12flog in your synagogues, and 13persecute from city to city, 35so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous 14Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the 15son of Berechiah, whom 16you murdered between the 17temple and the altar. 36Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon 18this generation.

37“19Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who 20kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, 21the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.
