Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 11
⁴⁹ For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ’I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,
⁵⁰ so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,
⁵¹ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.’
⁵² Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering."
⁵³ When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,
⁵⁴ plotting against Him to catch Him in something He might say.
Luke 12
¹ Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
² But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
³ Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
⁴ "I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.
⁵ But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!
