For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 (D)So you are witnesses and you (E)consent to the deeds of (F)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also (G)the Wisdom of God said, (H)‘I will send them (I)prophets and apostles, (J)some of whom they will (K)kill and persecute,’ 50 so that (L)the blood of all the prophets, shed (M)from the foundation of the world, may be (N)charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of (O)Abel to the blood of (P)Zechariah, who perished between (Q)the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be (R)required of this generation. 52 Woe to you (S)lawyers! (T)For you have taken away the key of (U)knowledge. You (V)did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
