Michael:

In Matthew it is a singular masculine relative pronoun, which means it only refers to Zechariah
In Luke, it is a singular masculine article, which means it only refers to Zechariah.

Subject: [B-Greek] Abel to Zechariah


Having no personal knowledge of Biblical Greek, I appreciate the  
opportunity to draw upon the knowledge of those who do to answer the  
following question regarding alternate translations of the Biblical  
Greek in two parallel verses.

Setting aside historical and theological expectations for the moment  
and without doing violence to original Greek text, could "who" and  
"whom" (the pronouns referring to the "murdered between the temple  
and the altar") in the following verses refer to every righteous  
person from Abel to Zechariah, or must it refer to Zechariah only?:

(NASB) Matt. 23:35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the  
righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to  
the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered  
between the temple and the altar.

(NASB) Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah,  
who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell  
you, it shall be charged against this generation.’
