Matthew 23:30 in Context — Matthew 23

28 Vous de même, au-dehors, vous paraissez justes aux hommes, mais, au-dedans, vous êtes pleins d’hypocrisie et d’iniquité.

29 Malheur à vous, scribes et pharisiens hypocrites! Parce que vous bâtissez les tombeaux des prophètes et ornez les sépulcres des justes,

30 et que vous dites: Si nous avions vécu du temps de nos pères, nous ne nous serions pas joints à eux pour répandre le sang des prophètes.

31 Vous témoignez ainsi contre vous-mêmesque vous êtes les fils de ceux qui ont tué les prophètes.

32 Comblez donc la mesure de vos pères.
