(1) 2Q: Luke 11:47-48 = Matt 23:29-31

/11:47/ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed. /48/ So you are witnesses and approve of the deeds of your ancestors; for they killed them, and you build their tombs.

= Matt 23:29-31
/23:29/ "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, /30/ and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' /31/ Thus you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.
