Matthew 23:29-36 - Jesus Predicts Their Punishment
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the prophets, and ornament the sepulchers of the righteous, 30 and you say, If we were in the days of our fathers we would not have been their fellow-partakers in the blood of the prophets. 31 So you witness to yourselves, that you are the sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 And you fill up the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, generations of vipers, how can you escape from the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: you will kill and crucify some of them; and will scourge some of them in your synagogues, and will persecute them from city to city; 35 in order that all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of the blessed, whom they slew between the temple and the altar, may come upon you. 36 Truly I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
