Luke 11:39–41 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

“How terrible for you teachers of the Law,” Jesus said. “You place unbearably heavy burdens on others and will carry none of the weight yourselves. How terrible for you, because you build memorials for the prophets your ancestors killed. With your monuments, you give testimony that you approve of their deeds. God in his foresight has said, ‘I will send prophets and messengers, and they will kill some and persecute others.’ So this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets since the beginning of the world, from the murder of Abel in the beginning to Zechariah, who died between the altar and the Temple sanctuary.

And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the Lord.
Luke 11:46–51 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
