The verse 34 is found in chapter 23 of Matthew. The woes against scribes and Pharisees denounce obstacles placed before others, selective ritualism, pride, and persecution.

Darum siehe, ich sende zu euch Propheten und Weise und Schriftgelehrte; und deren werdet ihr etliche töten und kreuzigen, und etliche werdet ihr geißeln in ihren Schulen und werdet sie verfolgen von einer Stadt zu der anderen;

Perciò, ecco, io vi mando de’ profeti, e de’ savi, e degli Scribi; e di loro ne ucciderete e crocifiggerete alcuni, altri ne flagellerete nelle vostre raunanze, e li perseguiterete di città in città.
