What did Jesus teach about true and false prophets?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus taught that true prophets speak God's message while false prophets lead people towards self-reliance and destruction.

In Matthew 12, Jesus emphasizes the distinction between true and false prophets by illustrating the consequences of following each. True prophets, like Himself, speak the truth of God's Word and lead others to genuine faith. Conversely, false prophets often present a facade of righteousness but ultimately lead people to self-deception and spiritual emptiness. Jesus warns that those who listen to false prophets risk ending up in a worse position than before, highlighting the importance of discerning the truth in a world filled with competing voices. True faith must be anchored in the Word of God and not in self or human traditions.
