'Prophets' in the Bible

and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'

rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.

Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;

'All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets.

'But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,

for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear.

and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'

on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the prophets do hang.'

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous,

and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them who did murder the prophets;

'Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city;

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.

'And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

As it hath been written in the prophets, 'Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' --

Others said -- 'It is Elijah,' and others said -- 'It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

And they answered, 'John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'

for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age;

rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward is great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

'Woe to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute,

that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation;

'There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.

the law and the prophets are till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;

'Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'

And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed -- that have been written through the prophets -- to the Son of Man,

And he said unto them, 'O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself.

and he said to them, 'These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.'

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;'

it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'

and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil;

whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age.

and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

'Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth;

and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become,

to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother -- and Saul;

and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people -- say on.'

for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read -- having judged him -- did fulfil,

see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:

and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:

Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,

'And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,

'Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,

thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!'

and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,

which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings --

And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

'Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;'

And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues;

are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all powers?

And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern,

and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject,

being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner -stone,

which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit --

and He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers of good news, and some as shepherds and teachers,

who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary,

In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;

concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy,

And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction,

to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,

Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.

and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these -- the two prophets -- did torment those dwelling upon the land.'

and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.'

because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;'

'Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.'

And he said to me, 'These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

and he saith to me, 'See -- not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.'
