Wherefore ye be wit nesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them 32 which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of 33 your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers ! how can 34 ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye 41 And many MARK XII. LUKE XXI.
