46. Jesus answered, “How terrible also for you teachers of the Law! You put loads on people's backs which are hard to carry, but you yourselves will not stretch out a finger to help them carry those loads.
47. How terrible for you! You make fine tombs for the prophets — the very prophets your ancestors murdered.
48. You yourselves admit, then, that you approve of what your ancestors did; they murdered the prophets, and you build their tombs.
49. For this reason the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and messengers; they will kill some of them and persecute others.’
