45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe to you also, [ye] lawyers, for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
