Rejoice and be extremely glad, because your reward in heaven is great! That's how they persecuted the prophets who came before you."

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them,

Therefore, whatever you want people to do for you, do the same for them, because this summarizes the Law and the Prophets."

"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are savage wolves.

I tell all of you with certainty, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them."

They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

"How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous.

Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people,

But all of this has happened so that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.
