Matthew 21:45-46
King James Version
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees
had heard his parables,
they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him,
they feared the multitude,
because they took him for a prophet.
Was JESUS a prophet?
Let's search Scripture, to find out.

from among their brethren,
like unto thee,
and will put my words in his mouth;

that whosoever will not hearken unto my words
which he shall speak in my name,
I will require it of him.

all the city was moved, saying,
Who is this?

This is Jesus
the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Luke 7:12-17
King James Version
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city,
behold,
there was a dead man carried out,
the only son of his mother,
and she was a widow:
and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her,
he had compassion on her,
and said unto her,
Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier:
and they that bare him stood still.
And he said,
Young man, I say unto thee,
Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up,
and began to speak.
And he delivered him to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all:
and they glorified God, saying,
That a great prophet is risen up among us;
and, That God hath visited his people.

throughout all Judaea,
and throughout all the region round about.
Luke 24:15-20

15 And it came to pass, that,
while they communed together and reasoned,
Jesus himself drew near,
and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden
that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them,
What manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another,
as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them,
whose name was Cleopas,
answering said unto him,
Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem,
and hast not known the things
which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them,
What things?
And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
which was a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers
delivered him to be condemned to death,
and have crucified him.
John 4:13-19

Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him
shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him,
Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her,
Go, call thy husband,
and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said,
I have no husband.
Jesus said unto her,
Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands;
and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband:
in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him,
Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

he said unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that remain,
that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together,
and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley loaves,
which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men,
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
This is of a truth
that prophet that should come into the world.

Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst,
let him come unto me,
and drink.
38 He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit,
which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore,
when they heard this saying, said,
Of a truth this is the Prophet.
