Luke 11:51

from the blood of Abel ¹  to the blood of Zechariah, ²  who was killed ³  between the altar and the sanctuary. ⁴  Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against ⁵  this generation.

Ge 4:8-11; 2Ch 24:20-22; Jer 7:28; Zec 1:1; Mt 23:35; Heb 11:4; Heb 12:24; 1Jo 3:12

¹ sn Gen 4:10 indicates that Abel’s blood cried out for justice.

² sn It is not clear which Zechariah is meant here. It is probably the person mentioned in 2 Chr 24:20-25.

³ tn Or “who perished.”

⁴ tn Or “and the temple”; Grk “and the house,” but in this context a reference to the house of God as a place of sanctuary.

⁵ tn Or “required from.”
