Jesus proclaimed seven woes on the scribes and Pharisees. Then he made a promise: that he would send to them more prophets, wise men, and scribes. I wonder if the idea that Jesus was sharing was a river of wise men so that even as the Pharisees abused and killed them more would follow in their steps? Because that is what happened. And they are still coming. Prophets are continuing to proclaim the message of Jesus and all of the auguments and abuses of the Jews have not been able to stem the tide. Jesus' words have again been proven true; the gates of death cannot stand against the church of the Christ.
It took me about 16 minutes to read this passage.
