I cannot see the full excerpt, but from the entire work here is what I see.

...But thought I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
though I have seen my head brought in upon a platter,
I am no prophet...

This refers to John the Baptist when he gets his head put on a platter. John was a prophet. (Matthew 14 and Mark 6)

..."I am Lazarus, come from the dead..."
Jesus raised a man named Lazarus from the dead as recorded in the Bible. (John 11)

Hi! The answer is Transition Words.

Explanation:

What are the components of good transition sentences? They make an explicit connection between ideas, sentences, and paragraphs.

Good transitions use specific words. Try to avoid using pronouns like “this” to refer to an entire idea because it is not always clear who or what

“this” refers to.

Here's a list of some more transitions words -

And, in addition to, furthermore, moreover, besides, than, too, also, both-and, another, equally important, first, second, etc., again, further, last, finally, not only-but also, as well as, in the second place, next, likewise, similarly, in fact, as a result, consequently, in the same way, for example.

Hope this helped!
