The Prophet Like Moses
Peter quotes a prophecy from Deuteronomy that his Jewish audience knew well. Commentators explain that while this prophecy originally referred to a succession of prophets, it found its ultimate and greatest fulfillment in Jesus. He is the Prophet 'by eminence,' the one to whom all other prophets pointed. Believing in Jesus is therefore the true fulfillment of following Moses.
