^29 (A)“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and ^[a]adorn the monuments of the righteous, ³⁰ and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

³¹ “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that ^(B)you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. ^32 (C)Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. ³³ Serpents, ^(D)brood^[b] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? ^34 (E)Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: ^(F)some of them you will kill and crucify, and ^(G)some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, ^35 (H)that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, ^(I)from the blood of righteous Abel to ^(J)the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem^(K)

^37 (L)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets ^(M)and stones those who are sent to her! How often ^(N)I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks ^(O)under her wings, but you were not willing! ³⁸ See! Your house is left to you desolate; ³⁹ for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ^(P)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
