These three men where both priests and prophets.

• A. Isaiah, Daniel, and Hosea
• B. Zechariah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel
• C. Malachi, Amos, and Joel
• D. Ezra, Nehemiah, and Samuel

Answer: (B)

Being both a priest and a prophet means someone carries the temple role as well as delivering God's messages. Zechariah is from a priestly line—his father was Iddo the priest—and he functions as a prophet in the post-exilic era. Jeremiah is identified as coming from a priestly family in Anathoth and is known primarily as a prophet who spoke to Judah at a crucial time. Ezekiel is described as a priest who, while in Babylonian exile, receives and relays prophetic visions and messages. Together, these three fit the pattern of priestly lineage or service combined with prophetic calling, which is why they are recognized as both priests and prophets. The other names are valued mainly for one role—prophetic ministry or leadership—rather than a dual priest-prophet identity.
