Luke 11:47-49

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁷ It will be bad for you, because you build tombs for the prophets. But these are the same prophets your ancestors killed! ⁴⁸ And now you show all people that you agree with what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you build tombs for the prophets! ⁴⁹ This is why God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles^[a] to them. Some of my prophets and apostles will be killed by evil men. Others will be treated badly.’
