# Abel ... Zechariah

Abel was the first righteous victim of murder, and Zechariah, who was murdered by Jews in the temple, was probably thought to be the last. These two men represent all the righteous people who have been murdered.

This Zechariah is unknown. He was not the father of John the Baptist.

Jesus does not mean the people to whom he is speaking actually murdered Zechariah. He means their ancestors did.
