“ You stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors did!Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become!

But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you.You killed the Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses!

Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.

But as for these enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and slaughter them in front of me!’”

“ If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first.
