'Prophets' in the Bible

just as He spoke by the mouthof His holy prophets in ancient times;

“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! Take note—your reward is great in heaven, for this is the way their ancestors used to treat the prophets.

Woe to youwhen all people speak well of you,for this is the way their ancestorsused to treat the false prophets.

some that Elijah had appeared, and others that one of the ancient prophets had risen.

They answered, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back.”

For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.”

“Woe to you! You build monuments to the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’

so that this generation may be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world—

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

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! She who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

“The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is strongly urged to enter it.

“But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.’

“But he told him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’”

Then He took the Twelve aside and told them, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. Everything that is written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

He said to them, “How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken!

Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Then He told 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, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
