Beware of false Teachers--men who come to you in the guise of sheep, but at heart they are ravenous wolves.

He who welcomes a Prophet, because he is a Prophet, shall receive a Prophet's reward; and he who welcomes a good man, because he is a good man, shall receive a good man's reward.

What, then, did you go for? To see a Prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.

These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him; whereupon Jesus said: "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and in his own house."

Yet, though Herod wanted to put him to death, he was afraid of the people, because they looked on John as a Prophet.

"Who is this?", to which the crowd replied--"This is the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee."

But if we say 'human,' we are afraid of the people, for every one regards John as a Prophet."

Many false Prophets, also, will appear and lead many astray;

For false Christs and false Prophets will arise, and will display great signs and marvels, so that, were it possible, even God's People would be led astray.

Yet can we say 'human'?"--They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a Prophet.

Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, speaking under inspiration, said:

There was at that time in Jerusalem a man named Simeon, a righteous and devout man, who lived in constant expectation of the Consolation of Israel, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

There was also a Prophetess named Hannah, a daughter of Phanuel and of the tribe of Asher. She was far advanced in years, having lived with her husband for seven years after marriage,

Every one was awe-struck and began praising God. "A great Prophet has arisen among us," they said; "and God has visited his people."

What then did you go to see? A Prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a Prophet.

But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.

But, if we say 'human,' the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a Prophet."

"What things do you mean?" asked Jesus. "Why, about Jesus of Nazareth," they answered, "who, in the eyes of God and all the people, was a Prophet, whose power was felt in both his words and actions;

When the people saw the signs which Jesus gave, they said: "This is certainly 'the Prophet who was to come' into the world."

Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the Helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

Yet when he--The Spirit of Truth--comes, he will guide you into all Truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.

This is what is spoken of in the prophet Joel--

Moses himself said--'The Lord your God will raise up from among your brothers a Prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.

While we, for our part, will devote ourselves to Prayer, and to the delivery of the Message."

This was the Moses who said to the people of Israel--'God will raise up for you, from among your brothers, a Prophet, as he raised up me.'

During this time, some Prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem.

During this time, some Prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem. One of them, named Agabus, came forward and, under the influence of the Spirit, foretold a great famine that was to spread over all the world--a famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius.

Among the members of the Church at Antioch there were several Prophets and Teachers--Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of 'Black', Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.

Judas and Silas, who were themselves Prophets, further encouraged the Brethren by many an address, and strengthened their faith.

So the Churches grew stronger in the Faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.

There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem.

He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy. During our visit, which lasted several days, a Prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.

But Jesus said to me 'Go; for I will send you to the Gentiles far away'."

But the man with spiritual insight is able to understand everything, although he himself is understood by no one.

The human body, I repeat, consists not of one part, but of many.

In the Church God has appointed, first, Apostles, secondly Preachers, thirdly Teachers; then he has given supernatural powers, then power to cure diseases, aptness for helping others, capacity to govern, varieties of the gift of 'tongues.'

In the Church God has appointed, first, Apostles, secondly Preachers, thirdly Teachers; then he has given supernatural powers, then power to cure diseases, aptness for helping others, capacity to govern, varieties of the gift of 'tongues.'

But he who preaches is speaking to his fellow men words that will build up faith, and give them comfort and encouragement. He who, when speaking, uses the gift of 'tongues' builds up his own faith, while he who preaches builds up the faith of the Church.

Therefore the gift of the 'tongues' is intended as a sign, not for those who believe in Christ, but for those who do not, while the gift of preaching is intended as a sign, not for those who do not believe in Christ, but for those who do.

The secrets of his heart are revealed, and then, throwing himself on his face, he will worship God, and declare 'God is indeed among you!'

Of preachers two or three should speak, and the rest should weigh well what is said.

Of preachers two or three should speak, and the rest should weigh well what is said. But, if some revelation is made to another person as he sits there, the first speaker should stop. read more. For you can all preach in turn, so that all may learn some lesson and all receive encouragement.

On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews. For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.

You have been built up upon the foundation laid by the Apostles and Prophets, Christ Jesus himself being 'the corner- stone.'

In former generations it was not made known to mankind, as fully as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to the Apostles and Prophets among Christ's People-- That, by union with Christ Jesus and through the Good News, the Gentiles are co-heirs with us and members of one Body, and that they share with us in God's Promise.

That is why it is said--'When he went up on high, he led his captives into captivity. And gave gifts to mankind.'

And he it is who gave to the Church Apostles, Prophets, Missionaries, Pastors, and Teachers,

For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need some one to teach you the very alphabet of the Divine Revelation, and need again to be fed with 'milk' instead of with 'solid food.'

Do not forget your Leaders, the men who told you God's Message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.

Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for The Time is near.

I prostrated myself at the feet of him who spoke to worship him, but he said to me- - 'Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers who bear their testimony to Jesus. Worship God. For to bear testimony to Jesus needs the inspiration of the Prophets.'

and he said "I will come quickly." Blessed will he be who lays to heart the words of the prophecy contained in this book.'

But he said to me-- 'Forbear; I am your fellow-servant, and the fellow-servant of your Brothers, the Prophets, and of all who lay to heart the words in this book. Worship God.' Then the angel said to me-- 'Do not keep secret the words of the prophecy contained in this book; for The Time is near.

and if any one takes away any of the words in the book containing this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life, and in the Holy City--as described in this book.'
