34 Because of this, behold, I send to you⁺ prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you⁺ will kill and crucify, and some of them you⁺ will flog in your⁺ synagogues and will persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you⁺ shall come all the righteous blood being poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you⁺ murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you⁺, all these things will come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her! How often I willed to gather together your children, the way that a hen gathers together her chicks under the wings, and you⁺ were not willing! 38 Behold, your⁺ house is left to you⁺ desolate! 39 For I say to you⁺, you⁺ shall not see Me from now until you⁺ say, ‘Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord.’” Matthew 23:34-39, Berean Literal Bible.
