21:37 Finally he sent his son to them,
saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
21:38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and get his inheritance!’
21:39 So
they seized him,
threw him out of the vineyard,
and killed him.

23:34 “For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,

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.

you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you!
How often I have longed
to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but
you would have none of it!
