Luke 11:47-49

The Voice

^47-48 Woe to you; you don’t fool anybody! You seem very religious—honoring the prophets by building them elaborate memorial tombs. Come to think of it, that’s very fitting, since you’re so much like the people who killed the prophets! They killed the prophets; you build their tombs—you’re all in the same family business!

⁴⁹ This is why the Wisdom of God said, “I will send these people My prophets and emissaries,^[a] and these people will kill and persecute many of them.”
