Matthew 23:37 in Context — Matthew 23
35 afin que retombe sur vous tout le sang innocent répandu sur la terre,depuis le sang d’Abel le juste jusqu’ausang de Zacharie, fils de Barachie, que vous avez tué entre le temple et l’autel.
36 Je vous le dis en vérité, tout cela retombera sur cette génération.
37 Jérusalem, Jérusalem, qui tues les prophètes et quilapides ceux qui te sont envoyés,combien de fois ai-je voulu rassembler tes enfants, comme une poule rassemble ses poussins sous ses ailes, et vous ne l’avez pas voulu!
38 Voici, votre maison vous sera laissée déserte;
39 car, je vous le dis, vous ne me verrez plus désormais, jusqu’à ce que vous disiez:Béni soit celui qui vient au nom du Seigneur!
