48 Surely you are both vouchers and accessories to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their monuments.
49 Wherefore, thus says the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and Apostles: some of them they will kill, others they will banish;
50 so that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed since the formation of the world, shall be required of this generation;
51 from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zechariah, who fell between the altar and the house of God. Yes, I assure you, all shall be required of this generation.

43 Alas, for you, Pharisees! because you love the most conspicuous seats in synagogues, and salutations in public places.
44 Alas, for you! because you are like concealed graves, over which people walk without knowing it.
45 Here, one of the lawyers interposing, said, By speaking thus, Rabbi, you reproach us also.
46 He answered, Alas, for you, lawyers! also; because you lade men with intolerable burdens-burdens which you yourselves will not so much as touch with one of your fingers.
47 Alas, for you! because you build the monuments of the prophets, whom your fathers killed.
