45 One of the legal experts responded, "Teacher, when you say these things, you are insulting us too."
46 Jesus said, “How terrible for you legal experts too! You load people down with impossible burdens and you refuse to lift a single finger to help them.
47 “How terrible for you! You built memorials to the prophets, whom your ancestors killed.
48 In this way, you testify that you approve of your ancestors’ deeds. They killed the prophets, and you build memorials!
49 Therefore, God’s wisdom has said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles to them and they will harass and kill some of them.’
50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the murder of all the prophets since the beginning of time.
51 This includes the murder of every prophet—from Abel to Zechariah—who was killed between the altar and the holy place. Yes, I’m telling you, this generation will be charged with it.
