'Prophets' in the Bible

As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from of old—

Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again.

They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.”

for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”

Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,

But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
