22 Moses said, ‘(A)The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your countrymen; to Him you shall listen regarding everything He says to you. 23 (B)And it shall be that every (C)soul that does not listen to that prophet (D)shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ 24 And likewise, (E)all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel and his successors onward, have also announced these days. 25 It is you who are (F)the sons of the prophets and of the (G)covenant which God ordained with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘(H)And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ 26 God (I)raised up His [a]Servant for you (J)first, and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”

22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.(A) 23 Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a](B)

24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets(C) who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs(D) of the prophets and of the covenant(E) God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b](F) 26 When God raised up(G) his servant, he sent him first(H) to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
