Jesus said to him, “Truly, truly, I tell you, a person cannot see the kingdom of God [i.e., enter it.

Yes, I tell you, this generation will be punished [for the death of the prophets], from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who died between the Altar and the sanctuary [i.e., in the Temple area].

It is true when I say to you; these people have [already] received their reward.
