2 a“Son of man, bmake known to Jerusalem her abominations, 3and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an cAmorite and your mother a dHittite.Matthew 23:29-37
29 e“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 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

47 afWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 agSo you are witnesses and you ahconsent to the deeds of aiyour fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also ajthe Wisdom of God said, ak‘I will send them alprophets and apostles, amsome of whom they will ankill and persecute,’ 50so that aothe blood of all the prophets, shed apfrom the foundation of the world, may be aqcharged against this generation, 51from the blood of arAbel to the blood of asZechariah, who perished between atthe altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be aurequired of this generation.Luke 13:33-35
33Nevertheless, avI awmust go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that axa prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34 ayO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that azkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! baHow often would I have bbgathered bcyour children together bdas a hen gathers her brood beunder her wings, and bfyou were not willing! 35Behold, bgyour house is forsaken.
