UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μαρτυρεῖτε καὶ συνευδοκεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν

˱you_all˲_/are/_testifying and ˱you_all˲_/are/_consenting ˱to˲_the works ˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

The implication is that the Pharisees and experts in the law are not really honoring the prophets whom their ancestors killed when they build elaborate tombs for them. Rather, their ancestors began the job by actually killing them, and now they are finishing the job by burying them. Alternate translation: “you show that you approve of and agree with what your ancestors did when you bury the prophets to finish the job of killing them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν

˱of˲_the fathers ˱of˲_you_all

Jesus is using the term fathers in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “your ancestors”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑμεῖς & οἰκοδομεῖτε

you_all & /are/_building_‹their_tombs›

The implication is that the Pharisees and law experts are building tombs for the prophets, as 11:47 says explicitly. Alternate translation: “you are building tombs for them”
