In context
49 For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles: and some of them they will kill and persecute.
50 That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea I say to you: It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered in: and those that were entering in, you have hindered.
53 And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him and to oppress his mouth about many things,
54 Lying in wait for him and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
