Prophets

All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

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

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

Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.

I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,

But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:

King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.

…the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?

…but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, and those with gifts of healing, helping, administration, and various tongues.

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles?

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.

The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.

…built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

…which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

…who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,

As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”

On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.

And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,

Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully,

We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Now there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.

…by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”

And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send one another gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.

And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth.

Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place.”

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