Luke 11:47

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

In context

45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”

46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.

47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.

48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
