You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the judgment of hell?
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:33 Go To Matthew 23
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Ye serpents, &c. . . . the damnation of hell, wherewith I will condemn you in the day of judgment as Christicides and Deicides. He calls the Scribes serpents and vipers, because of their serpentine disposition, and wish to slay Himself and His Apostles.
