Which piece is more powerful, bishops or knoghts?

Depends on the situation.

"The bishop and knight are close enough in value that it all depends on the position. If your opponent has two rooks, and a queen in a position that a knight can penetrate, and create a lot of threats, with a great pawn structure to keep the knight in your opponent's territory, the knight is better."

I agree with @Aggressive_Combo, but ill add that a pair of bishops can be really powerful. If you have one try to move them to open lines and they would outplay bishop and knight or a pair of knights

'The weaker the player the more terrible the Knight is to him, but as a player increases in strength the value of the Bishop becomes more evident to him, and of course there is, or should be, a corresponding decrease in his estimation of the value of the Knight as compared to the Bishop.'
