49. "So God in his wisdom said, 'I will send prophets and apostles to them. They will kill some. And they will try to hurt others.'
50. So the people of today will be punished. They will pay for all the prophets' blood spilled since the world began.
51. I mean from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the temple. Yes, I tell you, the people of today will be punished for all these things.
52. "How terrible for you authorities on the law! You have taken away the key to the door of knowledge. You yourselves have not entered. And you have stood in the way of those who were entering."
