47 (A)Woe to you! For you build the [a]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 [b]tombs. 49 For this reason also, (B)the wisdom of God said, ‘(C)I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some they will [c]persecute, 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed (D)since the foundation of the world, may be charged [d]against this generation, 51 from (E)the blood of Abel to (F)the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged [e]against this generation.’
