46 But He said, “Woe to you (A)lawyers as well! For (B)you load people with burdens that are hard to bear, [a]while you yourselves will not even [b]touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (C)Woe to you! For you build the [c]tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them. 48 So you are witnesses and you approve of the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their [d]tombs. 49 For this reason also, (D)the wisdom of God said, ‘(E)I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some they will [e]persecute, 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed (F)since the foundation of the world, may be charged [f]against this generation, 51 from (G)the blood of Abel to (H)the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged [g]against this generation.’
