Matthew 23:34 - 23:39
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses Matthew 23:34-39 and the prophecy of the killing and crucifixion of prophets, wise men, and scribes. He notes that Jesus refers to Zechariah, son of Barakiah, who was killed in the temple due to prophesying. Gregg explains that this event is not mentioned in Luke's account and some scholars dispute the reference to Zechariah, son of Barakiah, suggesting that it may have been added for clarification. Gregg concludes by noting the different chronologies of events in Matthew and Luke and the significance of Palm Sunday.
