45And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.
46And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.
47A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.
48So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.
49For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;
50So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;
51From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.
