47. Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them!
48. As a result you are witnesses, and you approve of the deeds of your fathers, because they killed them and you build their tombs!
49. For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’

51. from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation!
