Matthew 23:29-36

29“Woe to you, Torah scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the tzaddikim.

30And you say, ‘If we’d been alive in the days of our forefathers, we wouldn’t have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

31So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers!

33O snakes, you brood of vipers! How will you escape the condemnation of Gehenna?

34“Because of this, behold, I’m sending you prophets and wise men and Torah scholars. Some of them you will kill and execute at the stake, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city.

35And so, upon you shall come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the altar.

36Amen, I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.”
