Luke 11:49-51

49For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’

50so that this generation may be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,

51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation.
