Matthew 23:29-36 - Jesus Predicts Their Punishment
29 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous, 30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 So that you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets; 32 and you have filled up the measure of your fathers.
33 Serpents, offspring of vipers! How can you escape the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; 35 that all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Bararchiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar, may come upon you. 36 I tell you truly, that all these [crimes] shall come on this generation.
