In Matthew 23:34, Jesus declares that He sent prophets, wise men, and teachers as part of His divine mission, reflecting His authority and glory. These messengers are sent to guide the people back to truth and righteousness, yet Jesus laments that they will be rejected, persecuted, and even killed—just as their ancestors did to the prophets before them. This verse highlights both Christ’s sovereign role in commissioning His followers and the tragic pattern of resistance to God's messengers, pointing to the coming judgment for those who persist in such rebellion.
