Lucas 11:50 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:50

That the blood of all the prophets
The same with "all the righteous blood", or the blood of all the righteous men, in ( Matthew 23:35 ) ,

which was shed from the foundation of the world:
for there were prophets from the beginning, which prophesied of Christ, ( Luke 1:70 ) and whose blood was shed very early; for Abel, the son of the first man, and who was the first whose blood was shed, was not only a righteous man, but a prophet; for by the sacrifice which he offered up, he gave a prophetical hint of the sacrifice of Christ, in that he spoke beforehand of it, as being dead he yet speaks: and now the Lord was about to send apostolical prophets, whom the Jews would slay, and he would suffer them to slay, that so the blood of all the former ones,

may be required of this generation;
and they be punished for it: just as in Babylon will be found, when God makes inquisition for blood, as he sooner or later always does, the blood of the prophets and saints, and of all that are slain upon earth, ever since Rome papal has been in power, ( Revelation 18:24 ) .

Lucas 11:50 In-Context

48 En realidad aprueban lo que hicieron sus antepasados; ellos mataron a los profetas, y ustedes les construyen los sepulcros.

49 Por eso dijo Dios en su sabiduría: “Les enviaré profetas y apóstoles, de los cuales matarán a unos y perseguirán a otros”.

50 Por lo tanto, a esta generación se le pedirán cuentas de la sangre de todos los profetas derramada desde el principio del mundo,

51 desde la sangre de Abel hasta la sangre de Zacarías, el que murió entre el altar y el santuario. Sí, les aseguro que de todo esto se le pedirán cuentas a esta generación.

52 »¡Ay de ustedes, expertos en la ley!, porque se han adueñado de la llave del conocimiento. Ustedes mismos no han entrado, y a los que querían entrar les han cerrado el paso.
