45And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.

46And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

47Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs].

49Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;

50that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.
