Luke 11:48

"Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the ironic guilt of the religious leaders who, while honoring the prophets they had previously rejected and murdered, fail to recognize Jesus as a prophet himself. Their actions demonstrate a blindness that will ultimately lead to judgment.
