'Prophets' in the Bible

Watch out, then, that what is spoken about by the prophets does not happen to you:

The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written,

Both Judas and Silas, who were prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with a long speech.

But I confess this to you, that I worship the God of our ancestors according to the Way (which they call a sect), believing everything that is according to the law and that is written in the prophets.

I have experienced help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said was going to happen:

Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe."

They set a day to meet with him, and they came to him where he was staying in even greater numbers. From morning until evening he explained things to them, testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus from both the law of Moses and the prophets.

This gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed --

"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left and they are seeking my life!"

And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues.

Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they?

Two or three prophets should speak and the others should evaluate what is said.

Indeed, the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

Now this secret was not disclosed to people in former generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit,

It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and persecuted us severely. They are displeasing to God and are opposed to all people,

A certain one of them, in fact, one of their own prophets, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets,

And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets.

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets who predicted the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully.

But false prophets arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. These false teachers will infiltrate your midst with destructive heresies, even to the point of denying the Master who bought them. As a result, they will bring swift destruction on themselves.

I want you to recall both the predictions foretold by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

But in the days when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed, just as he has proclaimed to his servants the prophets."

And those who live on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate, even sending gifts to each other, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth.

Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: "Come up here!" So the two prophets went up to heaven in a cloud while their enemies stared at them.

The nations were enraged, but your wrath has come, and the time has come for the dead to be judged, and the time has come to give to your servants, the prophets, their reward, as well as to the saints and to those who revere your name, both small and great, and the time has come to destroy those who destroy the earth."

because they poured out the blood of your saints and prophets, so you have given them blood to drink. They got what they deserved!"

(Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has pronounced judgment against her on your behalf!)

The blood of the saints and prophets was found in her, along with the blood of all those who had been killed on the earth."

Then the angel said to me, "These words are reliable and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen soon."

But he said to me, "Do not do this! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets, and with those who obey the words of this book. Worship God!"
