Matthew 23:32
Douay-Rheims
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
John Chrysostom
Moreover, He names Abel, to shew that it would be out of envy that they would kill Christ and His disciples. He names Zacharias, because there was a twofold resemblance in his case, the sacred place, as well as the sacred person.
