And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of 1 Samuel. When Saul encounters the prophets, the Spirit of God comes upon him and he experiences a transformation that astonishes those who know him. The question of whether Saul is also among the prophets becomes a memorable expression of his new situation. However, the episode does not mean that a spiritual experience guarantees permanent faithfulness. The later narrative will demonstrate that receiving divine signs and gifts does not eliminate the need for continual obedience.

Und einer daselbst antwortete und sprach: Wer ist ihr Vater? Daher ist das Sprichwort gekommen: Ist Saul auch unter den Propheten?
Y alguno de allí respondió, y dijo: ¿Y quién es el padre de ellos? Por esta causa se tornó en proverbio: ¿También Saúl entre los profetas?
Un hombre de allí respondió: «¿Y quién es el padre de ellos?». Por eso se hizo proverbio: «¿También Saúl está entre los profetas?».
Quelqu'un de Guibea répondit: Et qui est leur père? -De là le proverbe: Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?
Ed un uomo di quel luogo rispose, e disse: E chi è il padre loro? Perciò, questo passò in proverbio: Saulle è egli anch’esso fra i profeti?
Então um homem dali respondeu, e disse: Pois quem é o pai deles? Pelo que se tornou em provérbio: Está Saul também entre os profetas?
那地方有一個人說:「這些人的父親是誰呢?」因此就有一句俗語說:「 掃羅 也在先知中嗎?」
