And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Note 23 at Mt. 23:30: Hindsight is always "20/20." These Jews could see through the historical record of the scriptures who the real prophets of God were. They built and decorated tombs for the prophets which their fathers had killed. And yet they were committing a far greater sin than their fathers in seeking to kill the Prophet about whom all the other prophets had prophesied. This is a classic example of spiritual blindness (see note 14 at Mt. 23:17, p. 389).
