Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tais hemerais tōn paterōn hēmōn {ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν | en taîs hē-mé-rais tôn pa-té-rōn hē-môn} locates this hypothetical scenario in the time of “our fathers,” using a genitive chain to mark ancestral belonging.
In context — Matthew 23:30
And you say, “If we had been in the days of our fathers , we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets.”
