Matthew 23:33-35
International Standard Version
33 You snakes, you children of serpents! How can you escape being condemned to hell?[a]
34 “That is why I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will whip in your synagogues and persecute from town to town. 35 As a result, you will be held accountable for[b] all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel[c] to the blood of Berechiah’s son Zechariah,[d] whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
