That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation;

He is like to a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and set the foundation upon the rock: and there having been an overflow, the river dashed against that house, and was not able to move it: for it was founded upon the rock.

And he having heard, and not having done, is like a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation; against which the river dashed, and immediately it fell; and the breaking of that house was great.

That lest, having set the foundation, and not able to finish, all seeing begin to mock him,

For which of you wants to build a tower and does not first sit down to calculate the expense, to see if he has enough money to complete it? ??29 in case, after he has laid the foundation and then is unable to finish the building, all the spectators start to make fun of him,

And they will raze you to the ground, [you] and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, {because} you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

"[As for] these [things] that you see--days will come in which not [one] stone will be left on [another] stone that will not be thrown down!"

But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
