- All who came before me are thieves and robbers - The phrase "All who came before me" refers to the other teachers who had taught before Jesus. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit) Jesus calls them "thieves and robbers" because their teachings were false and they were trying to lead God's people while not understanding the truth.
