Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 23:30

30 And say, if we had been in the days our Fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

Luke hath it, Ch. 11.44. Woe unto you, for you Build the Sepulchers of the Prophets, and your Fathers killed them: Truly you bear Witness, that you allow the Deeds of your Fathers, for they indeed killed them, and you build their Sepulchers. It is plain by our Saviours discourse, that the Pharisees were at great Charge oft times, to rebuild or adorn the Sepulchers of the Lords Prophets, who had been slain by the Iews in former Ages, for testifying the Truth of God, and the Sepulchers of other Righteous Men dying for their Righteousness. This they did like a Company of Hypocrites, to perswade the World of what they also said. That had they lived in the times of those Prophets, and other good Men, they would have had no Hand in their Blood.
