'Prophets' in the Bible

as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from long ago,

Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets.

"Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.

while others were saying that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago had risen.

They answered, "John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others that one of the prophets of long ago has risen."

For I tell you that many prophets and kings longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."

Woe to you! You build the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.

So you testify that you approve of the deeds of your ancestors, because they killed the prophets and you build their tombs!

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

so that this generation may be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

"The law and the prophets were in force until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is urged to enter it.

But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to them.'

He replied to him, 'If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"

Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

So he said to them, "You foolish people -- how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.

Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
