Luke 11:49-54

49 For this [reason] also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will kill and persecute,'
50 so that the blood of all the prophets that has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!
52 Woe to you, legal experts, because you have taken away the key to knowledge! You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering!"
53 And [when] he departed from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly hostile, and to question him closely about many [things],
54 plotting to catch him with reference to something {he might say}.
