"Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers. "
— Luke 11:48, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.”
“So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their tombs. ”
“So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.”
“So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!”
“Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers. For they indeed killed them: and you build their sepulchres.”
“So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.”
“Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.”
Then one of the experts in the law, in response, said to him, “Teacher, in saying these things, you bring an insult against us as well.”
So he said: “And woe to you experts in the law! For you weigh men down with burdens which they are not able to bear, but you yourselves do not touch the weight with even one of your fingers.
Woe to you, who build the tombs of the prophets, while it is your fathers who killed them!
Clearly, you are testifying that you consent to the actions of your fathers, because even though they killed them, you build their sepulchers.
Because of this also, the wisdom of God said: I will send to them Prophets and Apostles, and some of these they will kill or persecute,
so that the blood of all the Prophets, which has been shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation:
from the blood of Abel, even to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. So I say to you: it will be required of this generation!
