Matthew 23:31 in Context — Matthew 23
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.
33 Serpents, race de vipères! Comment échapperez-vous au châtiment de la géhenne?
