Luke 11:46-48
1599 Geneva Bible
46 And he said, Woe be to you also, ye Lawyers: (A)for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 [a]Woe be to you: (B)for ye build the sepulchers of the Prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly [b]ye bear witness, and allow the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.

- Luke 11:47 Hypocrites honor those saints when they are dead, whom they most cruelly persecute, when they were alive.
- Luke 11:48 When you persecute God’s servants, like mad men, even as your fathers did, though you color it with a pretence of godliness, yet notwithstanding, in that you beautify the sepulchers of the Prophets, what do you else, but glory in your fathers’ cruelty, and set up monuments (as it were) in glory and triumph of it?
