Luke 11:47
Verse 47 of 54. The 11th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.
43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
44Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”
46He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.
47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
