Matthew 23:33-35

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³³ You snakes - a whole family of snakes! You cannot get away! You will be judged and sent to hell.

³⁴ That is why I send you prophets, wise men, and teachers. You will kill some of them and nail them to a cross. And you will beat some of them in your meeting houses and trouble them from one town to another.

³⁵ So you will be punished for all the blood of every good man that is on the ground. I mean all the blood from the time of Abel, who was a good man, to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah. You killed him between the temple and God's altar.
