The experts in the law receive their own woe for building tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed — a charge that transforms their piety into self-condemnation: they honor the prophets with tombs while endorsing their ancestors' murders, and by this generation the accumulated blood of the prophets from Abel to Zechariah will be required. The wisdom of God's word (prophets and apostles will be sent, some killed, some persecuted) frames their guilt.
