Matthew 23:34

34 And so I tell you that I will send you prophets and wise men and teachers; you will kill some of them, crucify others, and whip others in the synagogues and chase them from town to town.

Matthew 23:34 In-Context

32 Go on, then, and finish up what your ancestors started!
33 You snakes and children of snakes! How do you expect to escape from being condemned to hell?
34 And so I tell you that I will send you prophets and wise men and teachers; you will kill some of them, crucify others, and whip others in the synagogues and chase them from town to town.
35 As a result, the punishment for the murder of all innocent people will fall on you, from the murder of innocent Abel to the murder of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the Temple and the altar.
36 I tell you indeed: the punishment for all these murders will fall on the people of this day
