Beware of false prophets; they come to you with the garb of sheep but at heart they are ravenous wolves.

He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward; he who receives a good man because he is good, will receive a good man's reward.

Come, why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

So they were repelled by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet never goes without honour except in his native place and in his home."

He was anxious to kill him but he was afraid of the people, for they held John to be a prophet.

and the crowds replied, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazaret in Galilee!"

And if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet."

Many false prophets will rise and mislead many.

for false Christs and false prophets will rise and bring forward great signs and wonders, so as to mislead the very elect, ??if that were possible.

No, let us say, From men" ??but they were afraid of the multitude, for the people all held John had been really a prophet.

And Zechariah his father was filled with the holy Spirit; he prophesied in these words,

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Symeon, an upright and devout man, who was on the outlook for the Consolation of Israel. The holy Spirit was upon him;

There was also a prophetess, Hannah the daughter of Phanuel, who belonged to the tribe of Asher; she was advanced in years, having lived seven years with her husband after her girlhood

All were seized with awe and glorified God. "A great prophet has appeared among us," they said, "God has visited his people."

Come, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

But I must journey on, to-day, to-morrow, and the next day; it would never do for a prophet to perish except in Jerusalem!

And if we say, 'From men,' the whole of the people will stone us, for they are convinced John was a prophet."

"What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance,

Now when the people saw the Sign he had performed, they said, "This really is the Prophet who is to come into the world!"

Yet ??I am telling you the truth ??my going is for your good. If I do not depart, the Helper will not come to you; whereas if I go, I will send him to you.

However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of his own accord, he will say whatever he is told, and he will disclose to you what is to come.

No, this is what was predicted by the prophet Joel ??17 In the last days, saith God, then will I pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams:

for Moses said, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brotherhood, as he raised me: you must listen to whatever he may tell you.

but we will continue to devote ourselves to prayer and the ministry of the word."

(This was the Moses who told the sons of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brotherhood, as he raised me.')

During these days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,

During these days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch, one of whom, named Agabus, showed by the Spirit that a severe famine was about to visit the whole world (the famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius).

Now in the local church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Symeon (called Niger) and Lucius the Cyrenian, besides Manaen (a foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.

Now in the local church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Symeon (called Niger) and Lucius the Cyrenian, besides Manaen (a foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.

and as Judas and Silas were themselves prophets, they encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a counsel.

and the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in numbers day by day.

We found out the local disciples and stayed there for seven days. These disciples told Paul by the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem;

and had four unmarried daughters who prophesied). We stayed with him. While we remained there for a number of days, a prophet called Agabus came down from Judaea.

But he said to me, 'Go; I will send you afar to the Gentiles ????'"

The spiritual man, again, can read the meaning of everything; and yet no one can read what he is.

Why, even the body consists not of one member but of many.

That is to say, God has set people within the church to be first of all apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, and speakers in 'tongues' of various kinds.

That is to say, God has set people within the church to be first of all apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then workers of miracles, then healers, helpers, administrators, and speakers in 'tongues' of various kinds.

On the other hand, he who prophesies addresses men in words that edify, encourage, and console them. He who speaks in a 'tongue' edifies himself, whereas he who prophesies edifies the church.

Thus 'tongues' are intended as a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; whereas prophesying is meant for believers, not for unbelievers.

the secrets of his heart are brought to light, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God, declaring, 'God is really among you.'

Let only two or three prophets speak, while the rest exercise their judgment upon what is said.

Let only two or three prophets speak, while the rest exercise their judgment upon what is said. Should a revelation come to one who is seated, the first speaker must be quiet. read more. You can all prophesy quite well, one after another, so as to let all learn and all be encouraged.

On the contrary, when they saw I had been entrusted with the gospel for the benefit of the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been for the circumcised (for He who equipped Peter to be an apostle of the circumcised equipped me as well for the uncircumcised),

you are a building that rests on the apostles and prophets as its foundation, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone;

which was not disclosed to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his sacred apostles and prophets by the Spirit), namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles are co-heirs, companions, and co-partners in the Promise.

Thus it is said, When he ascended on high he led a host captive and granted gifts to men.

he granted some men to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some to shepherd and teach,

he granted some men to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some to shepherd and teach,

Though by this time you should be teaching other people, you still need someone to teach you once more the rudimentary principles of the divine revelation. You are in need of milk, not of solid food.

Remember your leaders, the men who spoke the word of God to you; look back upon the close of their career, and copy their faith.

Blessed is he who reads aloud, blessed they who hear the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written in it; for the time is near.

Then I fell before his feet to worship him; but he said to me, "No, not that! I am but a servant like yourself and your brothers, who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God" (for the testimony borne by Jesus is the breath of all prophecy).

Lo, I am coming very soon; blessed is he who lays to heart the words of the prophecy of this book!"

& 10] And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and genuine, for the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants what must very soon come to pass.

But he said to me, "No, not that! I am but a servant like yourself and your brothers the prophets, who lay to heart the words of this book. Worship God." He said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near:

and if anyone removes any words written in this book, God will remove his share in the tree of Life and in the holy City described in this book."]
