29 “You religious teachers and Farisaios are hypocrites and will have a bad end, because you rebuild the prophets’ tombs and adorn the tombs of godly people, 30 and you tell yourselves, ‘If we’d lived back in our ancestors’ time, we wouldn’t have had any part with them in killing the prophets.’ 31 By saying that, you’re admitting to yourselves that you’re the descendants of the ones who killed the prophets— 32 actually you’re just the same as your ancestors. 33 Bunch of snakes! Brood of vipers! How are you planning to escape being condemned to hell?[ref] 34 Because of that, listen, I’m now sending more prophets and wise preachers and teachers to you people. You’ll kill off some of them and have others executed on posts. You’ll flog some of them in your Jewish meeting halls, and you’ll persecute others from city to city, 35 so that the judgement for the deaths of all the godly people around the world will fall on you people. This includes the blood of innocent Hevel (Abel)[ref] all the way through the centuries to the blood of Zekaryah (Zechariah; Grk. Zakarias) (son of Berekyah) who you people murdered between the temple and the altar.[ref] 36 Yes, I can assure you that all these things will happen to this generation.
