Matthew 23:35-39 New English Translation (NET)

35. so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.

36. I tell you the truth, this generation will be held responsible for all these things!

37. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

38. Look, your house is left to you desolate!

39. For I tell you, you will not see me from now until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
