Luke 11:48

Woes to Pharisees and Experts in the Law

47Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.48So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.49Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
