'Prophets' in the Bible

But others were saying, "He is Elijah," and others were saying, "[He is] a prophet like one of the prophets."

And they told him, saying, "John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that [you are] one of the prophets."

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce signs and wonders in order to mislead, if possible, the elect.
