Matthew 23:32-39 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

32. Fill you up then the measure of your fathers.

33. You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the judgment of hell?

34. Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you 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 unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.

36. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

38. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39. For I say unto you, you shall not see me again, till you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
