You are like unmarked graves; the people who walk over them don’t know it.”One of the experts in the law answered him,“ Teacher, when you say these things you insult us too.”Then he said,“ Woe also to you experts in the law! You load people with burdens that are hard to carry, and yet you yourselves don’t touch these burdens with one of your fingers.“ Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, and your fathers killed them.Therefore, you are witnesses that you approve the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their monuments.Because of this, the wisdom of God said,‘ I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’so that this generation may be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world—from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.“ Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible.“ Woe to you experts in the law!
