And one of the doctors of the law answering says to him, Teacher, in saying these things thou insultest us also.
46
And he said, To you also woe, doctors of the law, for ye lay upon men burdens heavy to bear, and yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47
Woe unto you, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, but your fathers killed them.
48
Ye bear witness then, and consent to the works of your fathers; for *they* killed them, and *ye* build [their sepulchres].

For this reason also the wisdom of God has said, I will send to them prophets and apostles, and of these shall they kill and drive out by persecution,
50
that the blood of all the prophets which has been poured out from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52
Woe unto you, the doctors of the law, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; yourselves have not entered in, and those who were entering in ye have hindered.

54
watching him, [and seeking] to catch something out of his mouth, [that they might accuse him].
