Matthew 23:33-39

Christian Standard Bible

³³ “Snakes! Brood of vipers! How can you escape being condemned to hell?^{[a](A) 34} This is why I am sending you prophets,^(B) sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues^(C) and pursue from town to town. ³⁵ So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you,^[b] from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah,^(D) son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.^{(E) 36} Truly I tell you, all these things will come on this generation.^(F)

Jesus’s Lamenting over Jerusalem

³⁷ “Jerusalem, Jerusalem,^(G) who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks^[c] under her wings, but you were not willing!^{(H) 38} See, your house is left to you desolate.^{(I) 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’!”^[d](J)
