  3        1, XIV    |          why should we distrust the prophets of the Jews alone? And if
  4        1, XIV    |         alone? And if Moses and the prophets have recorded many things
  5        1, XIV    |             I avoid using the word "prophets," that I may not appear

 14        1, XXXVI  |     therefore no absurdity in their prophets having uttered predictions

112        6, II     |         polished discourse. For our prophets, and Jesus Himself, and
113        6, IV     |        ancient of them all, and the prophets who followed him,--knowing
114        6, V      |             the declarations of our prophets regarding the "light" of

122        6, XXIII  |           mentioned; neither do our prophets, nor the apostles of Jesus,
123        6, XXIX   |           gave inspiration to their prophets; and, again, you slander

125        6, XXXIV  |             another,--discourses of prophets, and circles upon circles,

139        6, LXXXI  |           Jesus was foretold by the prophets; and as these are numerous,
140        7, II     |             who say that the Jewish prophets foretold events which happened
141        7, II     |       ourselves to a defence of the prophets, in continuation of what
142        7, IV     |         Scriptures, that the Jewish prophets, who were enlightened as
143        7, VI     |            wintry Dodona, where his prophets have ever unwashed feet,

145        7, VII    |            became divinely inspired prophets, while others became wise
146        7, VII    |             be the character of the prophets of the Most High, in comparison
147        7, VII    |             the life of each of the prophets; but it will be enough at
148        7, VII    |        multitude of other so-called prophets; whilst we regard with reverent
149        7, VII    |             reverent awe the Jewish prophets: for we see that the noble,
150        7, VIII   |            does not know that those prophets who foretold the coming
151        7, VIII   |             slight upon the ancient prophets, that "they prophesied in
152        7, VIII   |    character as those of the Jewish prophets. However it be, his statement
153        7, VIII   |             was done by the ancient prophets; and in more recent times,
154        7, VIII   |            the coming of Christ, no prophets have arisen among the Jews,
155        7, VIII   |           towards Him of whom their prophets spoke. Moreover, the Holy
156        7, X      |            forth in the law and the prophets. The prophets have therefore,
157        7, X      |           law and the prophets. The prophets have therefore, as God commanded
158        7, X      |      understand the language of the prophets, scoffs at them thus: "To
159        7, XI     |            some of the twelve minor prophets, explained literally and
160        7, XI     |           such men prophesy; for no prophets bearing any resemblance
161        7, XI     |          resemblance to the ancient prophets have appeared in the time
162        7, XI     |            when he says that "those prophets whom he had heard, on being
163        7, XII    |    reference to the writings of the prophets can give no proper answer
164        7, XII    |            to have adduced from the prophets examples of what he thought
165        7, XII    |         that in the writings of the prophets there is nothing evil, shameful,
166        7, XIII   |        ought to have cited from the prophets the passages in which God
167        7, XIII   |           minds of his readers. The prophets, indeed, foretold what Christ
168        7, XIV    |             says: "But pray, if the prophets foretold that the great
169        7, XIV    |         prove his divinity? But the prophets never would utter predictions
170        7, XIV    |         question is not whether the prophets uttered these predictions
171        7, XIV    |          all that we bring from the prophets in behalf of Jesus, or whether
172        7, XV     |           proves, that although the prophets may have foretold truly
173        7, XV     |           argument is: "If any true prophets of the Most High say that
174        7, XV     |           it is impossible that the prophets of the great God should

178        7, XVI    |             different from what the prophets actually foretold of Jesus
179        7, XVI    |            had been foretold by the prophets that death would befall
180        7, XVII   |         that in which he says: "The prophets would not foretell this,
181        7, XVII   |           which is predicted by the prophets is worthy of God, that He
182        7, XVIII  |             this reflection? If the prophets of the God of the Jews foretold
183        7, XVIII  |             that in the law and the prophets there is not a meaning deeper
184        7, XVIII  |        extreme poverty. Indeed, the prophets themselves, who for the

186        7, XXIV   |      Accordingly we find one of the prophets, when imprecating upon himself
187        7, XXIX   |             only to read in all the prophets what they say of those who,
188        7, XXX    |         godly life like that of the prophets, devote all their time to
189        7, XXXI   |           for our Commentary on the Prophets, having already in part,
