Matthew:23:34-38

*
Wherefore ,
behold ,
I send unto you prophets ,
and wise men ,
and scribes :
and some of them ye shall kill and crucify ;
and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues ,
and persecute them from city to city :
*
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth ,
from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias ,
whom ye slew between the temple and the altar .
*
Verily I say unto you ,
All these things shall come upon this generation .
*
O Jerusalem ,
Jerusalem ,
thou that killest the prophets ,
and stonest them which are sent unto thee ,
how often would I have gathered thy children together ,
even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings ,
and ye would not !
*
Behold ,
your house is left unto you desolate .
