Luke 11:49

Read in context

Luke 11:47–51 · Berean Standard Bible

47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’

50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,

51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
