34 Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city, 35 So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar. 36 Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation. 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her; how often did I wish to gather thy children together, which manner a bird gathers together her young broods under the wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I say to you, Ye should not see me from henceforth, till ye should say, Praised be he coming in the name of the Lord.
