Luke 11: 47 - 54
|
| 47 | Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. |
| 48 | So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs. |
| 49 | Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,' |
| 50 | that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, |
| 51 | from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechari'ah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be required of this generation. |
| 52 | Woe to you lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering." |
| 53 | As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard, and to provoke him to speak of many things, |
| 54 | lying in wait for him, to catch at something he might say. |
