Matthew 23:29-36 - Jesus Predicts Their Punishment
29 "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You rebuild the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, 30 "'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their comrades in the murder of the prophets.' 31 "So you bear witness against yourselves, that you are the descendants of those who slew the prophets! 32 "Fill up then the measure of your fathers!
33 "You serpents! You vipers brood! How shall you escape the judgment of hell? 34 "For this cause, behold! I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city; 35 "that upon your heads may come every drop of innocent blood spilt upon the earth, from the blood of Abel, the just, to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the Sanctuary and the altar. 36 "In solemn truth I tell you that all these things will come upon this generation.
