Matthew 23

³² Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your fathers.

³³ You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?

³⁴ Because of this, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and others you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.

³⁵ And so upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
