He has done this to show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant –

And he will go as forerunner before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared for him.”

So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!
