MATTHEW 23:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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 scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:”
Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. The sending of prophets, wise men, and scribes — the messengers of the kingdom — who will be killed, crucified, flogged, and pursued by the religious establishment. The future tense communicates the ongoing pattern: the Pharisees who killed the prophets will continue to kill the prophets. The followers of Jesus will suffer what Jesus suffered.
