Matthew 23:32-36

32 "Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.
33 "You serpents, 1you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of 2hell?
34 "3Therefore *, behold, 4I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will 5scourge in your synagogues, and 6persecute from city to city,
35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous 7Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the 8son of Berechiah, whom 9you murdered between the temple and the altar.
36 "Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon 10this generation.#rl
