50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
50 so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,
50 What it means is that every drop of righteous blood ever spilled from the time earth began until now,.
50 that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,
50 "As a result, this generation will be held responsible for the murder of all God's prophets from the creation of the world-
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 11:50
Commentary on Luke 11:37-54
(Read Luke 11:37-54)
We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.
