Come, ^llet us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and ^mthrew him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 ⁿWhen therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, ^o“He will put those wretches to a miserable death and ^plet out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”

47 ^aqWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 ^arSo you are witnesses and you ^asconsent to the deeds of ^atyour fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also ^authe Wisdom of God said, ^av‘I will send them ^awprophets and apostles, ^axsome of whom they will ^aykill and persecute,’ 50 so that ^azthe blood of all the prophets, shed ^bafrom the foundation of the world, may be ^bbcharged against this generation, 51 from the blood of ^bcAbel to the blood of ^bdZechariah, who perished between ^bethe altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be ^bfrequired of this generation.
