'Prophets' in the Bible

and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

and say, ‘If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’

So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
