Matthew - douay rheims

Chapter 23

¹ THEN Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
² Saying: The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses.
³ All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not.
⁴ For they bind heavy and insupportable burdens, and lay them on men's shoulders; but with a finger of their own they will not move them.
⁵ And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge their fringes.
⁶ And they love the first places at feasts, and the first chairs in the synagogues,
⁷ And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi.
⁸ But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren.
⁹ And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven.
¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters; for one is you master, Christ.
¹¹ He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
¹² And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
¹³ But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.
¹⁴ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.
¹⁵ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.
¹⁶ Woe to you blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple, is a debtor.
¹⁷ Ye foolish and blind; for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
¹⁸ And whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is a debtor.
¹⁹ Ye blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
²⁰ He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it:
²¹ And whosoever shall swear by temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it:
²² And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
²³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law; judgment, and mercy, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to leave those undone.
²⁴ Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
²⁵ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within you are full of rapine and uncleanness.
²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside may become clean.
²⁷ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all filthiness.
²⁸ So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
²⁹ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; that build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
³⁰ And say: If we had been in the days of our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹ Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
³² Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
³³ You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?
³⁴ Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
³⁵ That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
³⁶ Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
³⁸ Behold, you house shall be left to you, desolate.
³⁹ For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Chapter 23

¹ Then Jesus spoke to the multitude, and to his disciples,
² Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat.
³ All therefore, whatever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but do not ye according to their works: for they say, and do not.
⁴ For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
⁵ But all their works they do to be seen by men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
⁶ And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
⁷ And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
⁹ And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.
¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, even Christ.
¹¹ But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.
¹² And whoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.
¹³ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees! hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering, to go in.
¹⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
¹⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves.
¹⁶ Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
¹⁷ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
¹⁸ And whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
¹⁹ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
²⁰ Whoever therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things upon it.
²¹ And whoever shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it.
²² And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth upon it.
²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ye ought to have done, and not to leave the others undone.
²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitened sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
²⁸ Thus ye also outwardly appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
³⁰ And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹ Wherefore ye are witnesses to yourselves, that ye are the children of them who killed the prophets.
³² Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
³³ Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
³⁴ Wherefore behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
³⁵ That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
³⁶ Verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
³⁸ Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
³⁹ For I say to you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Chapter 23

¹ Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
² "The scribes and the Pharisees sat on Moses' seat.
³ things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don't do their works; for they say, and don't do.
⁴ they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
⁵ all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the fringes of their garments,
⁶ love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
⁷ salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi, Rabbi' by men.
⁸ don't you be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your teacher, the Christ, and all of you are brothers.
⁹ no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
¹⁰ be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
¹¹ he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
¹² exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
¹³ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
¹⁴ woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men; for you don't enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
¹⁵ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
¹⁶ to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
¹⁷ blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
¹⁸ swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
¹⁹ blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
²⁰ therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
²¹ who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living in it.
²² who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
²³ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
²⁴ blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
²⁵ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
²⁶ blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
²⁷ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
²⁸ so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
²⁹ to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
³⁰ say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn't have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
³¹ you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
³² up, then, the measure of your fathers.
³³ serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?
³⁴ behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
³⁵ on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
³⁶ certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
³⁷ Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
³⁸ your house is left to you desolate.
³⁹ I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

Chapter 23

¹ Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
² saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have set themselves down in Moses' seat:
³ all things therefore, whatever they may tell you, do and keep. But do not after their works, for they say and do not,
⁴ but bind burdens heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shoulders of men, but will not move them with their finger.
⁵ And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
⁶ and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,
⁷ and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
⁸ But *ye*, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all *ye* are brethren.
⁹ And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.
¹⁰ Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.
¹¹ But the greatest of you shall be your servant.
¹² And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
¹³ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.
^14
15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry [land] to make one proselyte, and when he is become [such], ye make him twofold more [the] son of hell than yourselves.
¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
¹⁷ Fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which sanctifies the gold?
¹⁸ And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is a debtor.
¹⁹ [Fools and] blind ones, for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifies the gift?
²⁰ He therefore that swears by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it.
²¹ And he that swears by the temple swears by it and by him that dwells in it.
²² And he that swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him that sits upon it.
²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside.
²⁴ Blind guides, who strain out the gnat, but drink down the camel.
²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance.
²⁶ Blind Pharisee, make clean first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside also may become clean.
²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear beautiful outwardly, but within are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
²⁸ Thus also *ye*, outwardly ye appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
²⁹ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the tombs of the just,
³⁰ and ye say, If we had been in the days of our fathers we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹ So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets:
³² and *ye*, fill ye up the measure of your fathers.
³³ Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell?
³⁴ Therefore, behold, *I* send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and [some] of them ye will kill and crucify, and [some] of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city;
³⁵ so that all righteous blood shed upon the earth should come upon *you*, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
³⁶ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [the city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
³⁸ Behold, your house is left unto you desolate;
³⁹ for I say unto you, Ye shall in no wise see me henceforth until ye say, Blessed [be] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.

Chapter 23

¹ Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples,
² saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat:
³ all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.
⁴ Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
⁵ But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments],
⁶ and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
⁷ and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.
⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.
⁹ And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, [even] he who is in heaven.
¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ.
¹¹ But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
¹² And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
¹³ But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye enter not in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering in to enter[.]
¹⁴ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, even while for a pretence ye make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation.
¹⁵ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves.
¹⁶ Woe unto you, ye blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.
¹⁷ Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?
¹⁸ And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor.
¹⁹ Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
²⁰ He therefore that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
²¹ And he that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
²² And he that sweareth by the heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
²³ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone.
²⁴ Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel!
²⁵ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess.
²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also.
²⁷ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
²⁸ Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
²⁹ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the righteous,
³⁰ and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹ Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets.
³² Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
³³ Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell?
³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city:
³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar.
³⁶ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
³⁸ Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
³⁹ For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Chapter 23

¹ Then Jesus said to the people and to his disciples:
² The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
³ All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.
⁴ They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.
⁵ But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
⁶ And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
⁷ And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
⁸ But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
⁹ And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
¹⁰ And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
¹¹ But let the greatest among you be your servant.
¹² And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
¹³ But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.
¹⁴ []
¹⁵ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you go about land and sea to get one disciple and, having him, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
¹⁶ A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible.
¹⁷ You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy?
¹⁸ And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible.
¹⁹ You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy?
²⁰ He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it.
²¹ And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is.
²² And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it.
²³ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.
²⁴ You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.
²⁵ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of violent behaviour and uncontrolled desire.
²⁶ You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.
²⁷ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.
²⁸ Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.
²⁹ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,
³⁰ If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹ So that you are witnesses against yourselves that you are the sons of those who put the prophets to death.
³² Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.
³³ You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?
³⁴ For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;
³⁵ So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.
³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.
³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who are sent to her! Again and again would I have taken your children to myself as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, and you would not!
³⁸ See, your house is made waste.
³⁹ For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.
