Luca 11:51

Listen to Luca 11:51
51 dal sangue di Abele fino al sangue di Zaccaria che fu ucciso fra l’altare ed il tempio; sì, vi dico, sarà ridomandato a questa generazione.

Luca 11:51 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:51

From the blood of Abel
"Righteous Abel", as in ( Matthew 23:35 ) and so read the Arabic version here, and two manuscripts in the Bodleian library, and three of Stephens's copies; the Persic version renders it, "innocent Abel": he is mentioned because he was the first man that was slain, and he was slain because of his righteousness.

Unto the blood of Zacharias;
in the Cambridge copy of Beza's, it is added, "the son of Barachias", as in ( Matthew 23:35 ) and so the Arabic version, "the son of Barasciah"; who he was, (See Gill on Matthew 23:35)

which perished between the altar and the temple;
or "the house", that is, the holy place: and the Ethiopic version renders it, "the holy house"; here he died, being slain by the Jews; see the note, as before.

Verily I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation;
as it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem.

50 affinché il sangue di tutti i profeti sparso dalla fondazione del mondo sia ridomandato a questa generazione;
51 dal sangue di Abele fino al sangue di Zaccaria che fu ucciso fra l’altare ed il tempio; sì, vi dico, sarà ridomandato a questa generazione.
52 Guai a voi, dottori della legge, poiché avete tolta la chiave della scienza! Voi stessi non siete entrati, ed avete impedito quelli che entravano.
53 E quando fu uscito di là, gli scribi e i Farisei cominciarono a incalzarlo fieramente ed a trargli di bocca risposte a molte cose; tendendogli de’ lacci,
The Riveduta Bible is in the public domain.
