{Which of the prophets} ( ina t(936e) proph(8874)(936e)). Jesus ( Lu
11:47 Mt 23:29-37 ) had charged them with this very thing. Cf.
2Ch 36:16 . {Which shewed before} (prokataggeilantas). The
very prophets who foretold the coming of the Messiah their
fathers killed. {The coming} ( (8873) eleuse(9373)). Not in ancient
Greek or LXX and only here in the N.T. (in a few late writers).
{Betrayers} (prodotai). Just like Judas Iscariot. He hurled
this old biting word at them. In the N.T. only here and Lu 6:16 2Ti 3:4 . It cut like a knife. It is blunter than Peter in Ac
3:13 . {Murderers} (phoneis). The climax with this sharp word
used of Barabbas ( 3:14 ).
