Matius 23:30-32

23:30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, ¹  we would not have participated with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 23:31 By saying this you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 23:32 Fill up then the measure of your ancestors!

[23:30]  ¹ tn Grk “fathers” (so also in v. 32).
