Macbeths reaction to the withces prophesies are rather mixed. In the play it does not really seem like he fully believes them, but deep inside he probably thinks they might be right. And from there he does things that ensure that their prophesies will work out.

Macbeth truly believes the witches’ prophecy because he fears about Banquo’s prophecy in which his sons would become king instead of Macbeth’s sons. Therefore because he believes in the witches’ prophecy, he orders for Banquo and his son to be killed.
He believes the witches because he wants all of the things not to happen. Macbeth is scared of the prophecy the witches tell him about Banquo, and he wants to kill him for it not to happen. The only problem is that he does not do it right. He tries to make the prophecy not come true.
Macbeth does believe the witches prophecy because he is afraid that the sons of Banquo will reign. Because of this he orders for them to be killed.
