'Prophets' in the Bible

As He has spoken from all time by the lips of His holy Prophets--

"Be glad at such a time, and dance for joy; for your reward is great in Heaven; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the Prophets!

"Alas for you when men shall all have spoken well of you; for that is just the way their forefathers behaved to the false Prophets!

by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.

"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."

For I tell you that many Prophets and kings have desired to see the things you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things you hear, and have not heard them."

Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.

"For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'

so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.

"There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!

The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it.

"'They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them hear them.'

"'If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, 'they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"

Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

"O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!

And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself.

And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me."
