Luke 11:50

so that this generation may be held accountable ¹  for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning ²  of the world, ³ 

Ge 9:5,6; Ex 20:5; Nu 35:33; 2Ki 24:4; Ps 9:12; Isa 26:21; Jer 7:29; Jer 51:56; Re 18:20-24

¹ tn Or “that this generation may be charged with”; or “the blood of all the prophets… may be required from this generation.” This is a warning of judgment. These people are responsible for the shedding of prophetic blood.

² tn Or “foundation.” However, this does not suggest a time to the modern reader.

³ tn The order of the clauses in this complicated sentence has been rearranged to simplify it for the modern reader.
