New Testament

Matthew 23:35-39 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. so that upon you may fall all the blood of the just, which has been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

36. Amen I say to you, all these things shall fall upon this generation.

37. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone those who have been sent to you. How often I have wanted to gather your children together, in the way that a hen gathers her young under her wings. But you were not willing!

38. Behold, your house shall be abandoned to you, having been deserted.

39. For I say to you, you shall not see me again, until you say: 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.' "
