¹¹ And the crowds said, “This is ^(A)the prophet Jesus, ^(B)from Nazareth of Galilee.”

¹⁴ When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, ^(A)“This is indeed ^(B)the Prophet ^(C)who is to come into the world!”

Division Among the People

⁴⁰ When they heard these words, ^(A)some of the people said, “This really is ^(B)the Prophet.”

¹⁶ Fear seized them all, and ^(A)they glorified God, saying, ^(B)“A great prophet has arisen among us!” and ^(C)“God has visited his people!”

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you ^(A)a prophet like me from your brothers.’

¹⁷ So they said again to the blind man, “What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?” He said, ^(A)“He is a prophet.”

²³ And he went and lived in a city called ^(A)Nazareth, ^(B)so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

^13 (A)Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” ¹⁴ And they said, “Some say ^(B)John the Baptist, others say ^(C)Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

A New Prophet like Moses

^15 (A)“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— ¹⁶ just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb ^(B)on the day of the assembly, when you said, ^(C)‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ ¹⁷ And the Lord said to me, ^(D)‘They are right in what they have spoken. ^18 (E)I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. ^(F)And I will put my words in his mouth, and ^(G)he shall speak to them all that I command him. ^19 (H)And whoever will ^(I)not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
