“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed, and you decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors destroyed. 30 Then you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would never have joined them in killing the prophets.’
These people are literal heretics.

It’s almost like, when you translate a work of fiction dozens of times, you can end up making it mean whatever you want it to mean.
