Matthew 23:29-33
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,
30 Saying, If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have aided them in shedding the blood of the prophets.
31 Thus you are testifying against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ sins to the brim [so [a]that nothing may be wanting to a full measure].
33 You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the [b]penalty to be suffered in hell (Gehenna)?
