All the prophets both major and minor prophets are in the Old Testament only.

Another answer:While the designations "major" and "minor" are applied to the Old Testament prophets, the answer above is, sadly, incorrect: there are a number of prophets spoken of in the New Testament.

The most notable, though he left no writings, is John the Baptist, who was sent in the "spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17) to "prepare the way of the Lord" (Matthew 3:3); and of whom Jesus said, "For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist;" (Luke 7:28).

Other New Testament prophets include Zacharias (the father of John the Baptist - Luke 1:67), Anna(Luke 2:36), Agabus (Acts 11:28), several disciples in Antioch who were said to be "prophets and teachers" (Acts 13:1), Judas [not Iscariot] and Silas (Acts 15:32), a number of disciples in Ephesus (Acts 19:6), the daughters of Philip(Acts 21:8, 9), and an unknowable number of early church leaders (1 Corinthians 12:28, Ephesians 4:11).

All of the apostles must also be considered prophets, as their mission was to proclaim God's word to man (practically the definition of "prophet").

Then there is John, the penman of Revelation(1:1), and the most "major" prophet of all, JesusHimself (though His role as prophet is often overlooked, being so greatly overshadowed by His role as Savior.)

the apostles in the new testament received revelation and therefore were prophets. They received revelation to call Matthias as a apostle after the death of Judas.Acts 1: 13, 16, 25, Eph. 3: 5, Rev. 18: 20

Jesus was the prophet of the New Testament.

Answer:By definition, a prophet is one who is inspired by God to speak to men on His behalf. Therefore, Jesus and His apostles were all prophets.

Other NT prophets know by name are John the Baptist(Luke 7:28), Anna (Luke 2:36), Agabus(Acts 11:27, 28; 21:10), Judas and Silas(Acts 15:32). Though never specifically referred to as a "prophet," Zacharias (the father of John the Baptist) also prophesied (Luke 1:67).

The four daughters of Philip the Evangelist prophesied (Acts 21:8, 9), as did many members of the first-century church (Acts 2:17, 18; Acts 13:1; Romans 12:6; 1 Corinthians 12:28).

The division in The Bible is not determined by Old Testament and NewTestament, it is determinined by Prophecy (Jews) and Mystery (secret) Colossians 1:26  "Colossians1:26 “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:”" (My emphasis)

John the Baptist was one, and some considered Jesus to be a prophet, even though he was the incarnate son of God.
