“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you did not want it!

“And which one of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who had previously announced the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become;

you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you steal?
