Matthew:23:34-37

*
Therefore ,
indeed ,
I send you prophets ,
wise men ,
and scribes :
some of them you will kill and crucify ,
and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city ,
*
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth ,
from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah ,
son of Berechiah ,
whom you murdered between the temple and the altar .
*
Assuredly ,
I say to you ,
all these things will come upon this generation .

O Jerusalem ,
Jerusalem ,
the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her !
How often I wanted to gather your children together ,
as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings ,
but you were not willing !
