Matthew 23:33-36
33-34 āSnakes! Cold-blooded sneaks! Do you think you can worm your way out of this? Never have to pay the piper? Itās on account of people like you that I send prophets and wise guides and scholars generation after generationāand generation after generation you treat them like dirt, greeting them with lynch mobs, hounding them with abuse.
35-36 āYou canāt squirm out of this: Every drop of righteous blood ever spilled on this earth, beginning with the blood of that good man Abel right down to the blood of Zechariah, Barachiahās son, whom you murdered at his prayers, is on your head. All this, Iām telling you, is coming down on you, on your generation.
