Matthew 23:29-34

29 ¹"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,

30 saying, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.'

31 Thus you witness against yourselves that you are ²sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32 ³Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.

33 You serpents, ⁴you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to ⁵hell?

34 ⁶Therefore ⁷I send you ⁸prophets and wise men and ⁹scribes, ¹⁰some of whom you will kill and crucify, and ¹¹some you will ¹²flog in your synagogues and ¹³persecute from town to town,
