Matthew 23:34

Jesus Predicts Their Punishment

³³ You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell? ³⁴ For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town; ³⁵ So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.
