Exactly who were the OT prophets that were persecuted and killed by Jewish leaders? What were the names?Matt 5:12
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matt 23:29-31, 37
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, saying, `If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ Thus you witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets”…“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!”

Luke 11:47-48
Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs.

Luke 13:34
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!

Acts 7:52
Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered,

Thanks,

Jeremiah was thrown into a pit for preaching against the depraved way in which the Israelites were living. Elijah was being hunted down by Queen Jezebel and had to hide out in the desert. I’m sure other prophets were persecuted because their messages were rarely welcome, but these two are off the top of my head.
