Luke 11:47-51
“11:47. Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them.
Woe to you who build, etc. . .Not that the building of the monuments of the prophets was in itself blameworthy, but only the intention of these unhappy men, who made use of this outward shew of religion and piety, as a means to carry on their wicked designs against the prince of prophets.
11:48. Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers.”
“For they indeed killed them: and you build their sepulchres.
11:49. For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles: and some of them they will kill and persecute.
11:50. That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
11:51. From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea I say to you: It shall be required of this generation.”
