³⁰and you say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

³¹So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

³²Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.

³³You snakes, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?

³⁴“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

³⁵so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

³⁶Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Grieving over Jerusalem
