Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 23
Mt 23, Verses 29–31English original
Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 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. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Though they speak not this in words, they proclaim it by their actions, in ambitious and magnificent structures to their memory.
