Luke 11:47-54
Legacy Standard Bible
47 (A)Woe to you! For you build the [a]tombs of the prophets, but your fathers killed them. 48 So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 For this reason also (B)the wisdom of God said, ‘(C)I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will [b]persecute, 50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed (D)since the foundation of the world, may be [c]charged 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 [d]charged against this generation.’ 52 Woe to you, (G)scholars of the Law! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; (H)you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”
53 And when He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects, 54 (I)plotting (J)to catch [e]Him in something He might say.
