He tells them that God, in his mercy, will send prophets, wise men, and teachers to guide his people. However, these messengers will be rejected, persecuted, and even killed. Jesus explains that this continued rejection will bring judgment on that generation. He refers to examples from the past, showing that the sins of rejecting God’s messengers have built up over time. The section ends with a solemn warning that the consequences will soon come upon them. v. 34 : Jesus says, “I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.” Even though God sends messengers to help his people, the religious leaders will continue to reject them and treat them terribly. This shows the hardness of their hearts and their refusal to listen to God (Matthew 23:34 ).
