Luke Study Notes—Chapter 11

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 11:51
  
  from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah: See study note on Mt 23:35.
  
  between the altar and the house: The “house,” or temple, refers to the building that accommodated the Holy and the Most Holy. According to 2Ch 24:21, Zechariah was murdered “in the courtyard of Jehovah’s house.” The altar of burnt offering was in the inner courtyard, outside of and in front of the entrance to the temple sanctuary. (See App. B8.) This would correspond to the location that Jesus mentioned for the incident.
