Regarding those whom he sends forth as his representatives, Jesus says: “Some of them you will kill and impale, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city; that there may come upon you all the righteous blood spilled on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah [called Jehoiada in 2 Chronicles], whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
Nende kohta, keda Jeesus saadab välja oma esindajatena, ütleb ta: „Muist neist te tapate ja lööte risti, ja muist neist te piitsutate oma kogudusekodades ja kiusate neid taga ühest linnast teise, et teie peale tuleks kõik vaga veri, mis on valatud maa peal alates õige Aabeli verest Sakarja, Berekja [2. Ajaraamatus nime all Joojada] poja vereni, kelle te tapsite templi ja altari vahel.
