Luke 11:47-54
11:47 Woe to you! You build
the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors
killed.
11:48 So you testify that you approve of
the deeds of your ancestors,
because they killed the prophets
and you build their
tombs!
11:49 For this reason also the wisdom
of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’
11:50 so that this generation may be held accountable
for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning
of the world,
11:51 from 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.
11:52 Woe to you experts in religious law! You have taken away
the key to knowledge! You did not go in yourselves, and you hindered
those who were going in.”
11:53 When he went out from there, the experts in the law and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, and to ask him hostile questions about many things,
11:54 plotting against him, to catch him in something he might say.
