³⁴ Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;^(A) others you will flog in your synagogues^(B) and pursue from town to town.^{(C) 35} And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel^(D) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,^(E) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.^{(F) 36} Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.^(G)

³⁷ “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,^(H) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,^(I) and you were not willing. ³⁸ Look, your house is left to you desolate.^{(J) 39} For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’^[a]”^(K)
