In order to show that all this was part of God's plan, Luke compares Jesus and his witnesses to Israel's prophets who were rejected by their own people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jocelyn McWhirter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451470029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451470024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Jocelyn McWhirter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896696922367,"sku":"9781451470024","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2230b1e-9e09-4ebb-94e8-26a6f0787c5a.jpg?v=1721372088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rejected-prophets-jocelyn-mcwhirter-9781451470024","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
