Matthew 23:34-39
New International Version
34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;(A) others you will flog in your synagogues(B) and pursue from town to town.(C) 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(D) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,(E) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.(F) 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.(G)
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,(H) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(I) and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(J) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[a]”(K)
