Punishment for mistreating prophets

Mat 23:29–36

23:29 Punishment for mistreating prophets

(Luke 11:47-51)

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.

29 Woe to _you _all, scribes and Farisaios_party, hypocrites.
Because you _all _are _building the tombs of _the prophets, and you _all _are _adorning the tombs of _the righteous

30 and you _all _are _saying:
If we _were in the days of _the fathers of _us, we_ would not _were partners with _them in the blood of _the prophets.

31 So _then you _all _are _testifying to _yourselves that you _all _are sons of _the ones having _murdered the prophets.

32 Also you _all fill the measure of _the fathers of _you _all.

33 Serpents, brood of _vipers, how may _you _all _escape from the judgement of_ the _geenna?

34 Because _of this, see, I am _sending _out prophets and wise ones, and scribes to you _all.
You _all _will _be _killing _off and you _all _will _be _executing _on _a _stake of them, and you _all _will _be _flogging of them in the synagogues of _you _all, and you _all _will _be _persecuting from city to city,

35 so _that all righteous blood being _poured _out on the earth may _come on you _all, from the blood of _Abel/(Heⱱel) the righteous, to the blood of _Zaⱪarias son of _Baraⱪias/(Berek^yāh), whom you _all _murdered between the temple and the altar.

36 Truly, I _am _saying to _you _all, all these things will _be _coming on the this generation.

23:33: Mat 3:7; 12:34; Luk 3:7.

23:35: Gen 4:8.

23:35: 2Ch 24:20-21.

Luke 11:47–51

47 You all won’t end well, because you all build fancy tombs for the prophets that your own ancestors executed. 48 Because of that, you’re all actually admitting and agreeing to what your ancestors did, because they killed them and then you build their tombs. 49 That’s why God in his wisdom said, ‘I’ll send prophets and missionaries to them, which they will then persecute and kill’ 50 so that the blood of those prophets which was spilt from the creation of the world onwards would then be charged to this generation. 51 This goes all the way back to the blood of Hevel (Abel),[ref] right up to the blood of Zekaryah (Zechariah; Grk. Zakarias) who was recently killed between the altar and the temple sanctuary.[ref] Yes, I’m telling all of you, those crimes will be charged to this generation.

47 Woe to _you _all, because you _all _are _building the tombs of _the prophets, but the fathers of _you _all killed_ them _off.

48 Consequently you _all _are _testifying and you _all _are _consenting to _the works of _the fathers of _you _all, because they on _one _hand killed_ them _off, on _the _other _hand you _all are _building their _tombs.

49 Because _of this the wisdom of_ the _god also said:
I _will _be _sending _out prophets and ambassadors to them, and they _will _be _killing _off and they _will _be _persecuting of them,

50 in _order _that the blood of _all the prophets, which being _poured _out from the_foundation of_the_world may _be _sought _out, from the this generation,

51 from the_blood of _Abel/(Heⱱel) to the_blood of _Zaⱪarias, of _the one having _destroyed between the altar and the house.
Yes, I _am _saying to _you _all, it _will _be _being _sought _out from the this generation.

11:51: 2Ch 24:20-21.
