Luke 11:49-54

New American Standard Bible

⁴⁹ For this reason also, ^(A)the wisdom of God said, ‘^(B)I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some they will ^[a]persecute, ⁵⁰ so that the blood of all the prophets, shed ^(C)since the foundation of the world, may be charged ^[b]against this generation, ⁵¹ from ^(D)the blood of Abel to ^(E)the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged ^[c]against this generation.’ ⁵² Woe to you ^[d](F)lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; ^(G)you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”

⁵³ When He left that place, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to interrogate Him about many subjects, ^54 (H)plotting against Him ^(I)to catch ^[e]Him in something He might say.
