Jeremiah 2:30

30In vain have I astruck your children;
they took no correction;
byour own sword devoured your prophets
like a ravening lion.

Matthew 21:35-36

35 cAnd the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and dstoned another. 36 eAgain he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.

Matthew 23:31-37

31Thus you witness against yourselves that you are fsons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 gFill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33You serpents, hyou brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to ihell? 34 jTherefore kI send you lprophets and wise men and mscribes, nsome of whom you will kill and crucify, and osome you will pflog in your synagogues and qpersecute from town to town, 35so that on you may come all rthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous sAbel to the blood of tZechariah the son of Barachiah, ▼
▼Some manuscripts omit  the son of Barachiah
 whom you murdered between vthe sanctuary and wthe altar. 36Truly, I say to you, xall these things will come upon this generation.

Lament over Jerusalem

37 y“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that zkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have aagathered abyour children together acas a hen gathers her brood adunder her wings, and aeyou were not willing!

Acts 7:51-52

51 af“You stiff-necked people, aguncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. ahAs your fathers did, so do you. 52 aiWhich of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of ajthe Righteous One, akwhom you have now betrayed and murdered,

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15

14For you, brothers, albecame imitators of amthe churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For anyou suffered the same things from your own countrymen aoas they did from the Jews, ▼
▼The Greek word Ioudaioi can refer to Jewish religious leaders and others under their influence, who opposed the Christian faith in that time
 15 aqwho killed both the Lord Jesus and arthe prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and asoppose all mankind
