Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 11
⁴⁹ Therefore the wisdom of God also said, ’I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
⁵¹ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
⁵² Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
⁵³ And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,
⁵⁴ lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.
Luke 12
¹ In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
² For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
³ Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
⁴ "And 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 show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
