You serpents, 1you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to 2hell?
34
3Therefore 4I send you 5prophets and wise men and 6scribes, 7some of whom you will kill and crucify, and 8some you will 9flog in your synagogues and 10persecute from town to town,
35
so that on you may come all 11the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of innocent 12Abel to the blood of 13Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[a] whom you murdered between 14the sanctuary and 15the altar.
36
Truly, I say to you, 16all these things will come upon this generation.#rl
