Matthew 23:32

30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’

31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that ^ayou are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

32 ^aFill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.

33 Serpents, ^abrood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?

34 ^aTherefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: ^bsome of them you will kill and crucify, and ^csome of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,

John Wesley's Notes

<< Matthew 23:31

Matthew 23:33 >>

Fill ye up - A word of permission, not of command: as if he had said, I contend with you no longer: I leave you to yourselves: you have conquered: now ye may follow the devices of your own hearts. The measure of your fathers - Wickedness: ye may now be as wicked as they.
