Matthew 23:29-33

New King James Version

^29 (A)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and ^[a]adorn the monuments of the righteous, ³⁰ and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

³¹ “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that ^(B)you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. ^32 (C)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. ³³ Serpents, ^(D)brood^[b] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
