You serpents, 2you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to 3hell?
34
4Therefore 5I send you 6prophets and wise men and 7scribes, 8some of whom you will kill and crucify, and 9some you will 10flog in your synagogues and 11persecute from town to town,
35
so that on you may come all 12the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of innocent 13Abel to the blood of 14Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[a] whom you murdered between 15the sanctuary and 16the altar.
36
Truly, I say to you, 17all these things will come upon this generation.#rl
