Galatians 6:12-14

12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

“The point is that the spirit that caused their ancestors to slay the prophets still lives with them, as their rejection of Jesus shows. Jesus is essentially saying that the current generation is finishing the job the previous ones started.”
