NET Notes

1 tn Or “that this generation may be charged with”; or “the blood of all the prophets… may be required from this generation.” This is a warning of judgment. These people are responsible for the shedding of prophetic blood.

2 tn Or “foundation.” However, this does not suggest a time to the modern reader.

3 tn The order of the clauses in this complicated sentence has been rearranged to simplify it for the modern reader.
