Matthew 23:35-39 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

35. So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.

36. I assure you: All these things will come on this generation!

37. “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! She who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, yet you were not willing!

38. See, your house is left to you desolate.

39. For I tell you, you will never see Me again until you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’! ”
