Luke 11:49 in Context — Luke 11

47 Malheur à vous! Parce que vous bâtissez les tombeaux des prophètes, que vos pères ont tués.

48 Vous rendez donc témoignage aux œuvres de vos pères, et vous les approuvez; car eux, ils ont tué les prophètes, et vous, vous bâtissez leurs tombeaux.

49 C’est pourquoi la sagesse de Dieu a dit:Je leur enverrai des prophètes et des apôtres; ils tueront les uns et persécuteront les autres,

50 afin qu’il soit demandé compte à cette génération du sang de tous les prophètes qui a été répandu depuis la création du monde,

51 depuis le sang d’Abeljusqu’au sang de Zacharie, tué entre l’autel et le temple; oui, je vous le dis, il en sera demandé compte à cette génération.
