Matthew 23:34-35

34 "¹Therefore *, behold, ²I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will ³scourge in your synagogues, and ⁴persecute 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 ⁵Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the ⁶son of Berechiah, whom ⁷you murdered between the temple and the altar.
