Moses, as a central figure in the Old Testament, was a prophet, leader, and lawgiver. His words carried significant authority among the Israelites, and his prophecies were considered foundational to Jewish expectations of a coming Messiah.‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet This prophecy speaks of a future prophet whom God Himself will appoint. The phrase "raise up" indicates divine action and selection, emphasizing that this prophet will be chosen by God, not by human decision. This aligns with the Jewish expectation of a Messiah, a divinely appointed leader who would guide and deliver Israel.like me Moses was a unique prophet who spoke with God face to face and led the Israelites out of Egypt. The comparison "like me" suggests that the coming prophet would have a similar intimate relationship with God and a significant role in delivering and guiding God's people. This is seen as a typology of Jesus Christ, who is considered the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy, as He is both a prophet and the Son of God.from among your brothers This indicates that the prophet would be an Israelite, coming from the Jewish people. It emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant with Israel and His faithfulness to His promises. Jesus, being born into a Jewish family, fulfills this aspect of the prophecy, reinforcing His role as the promised Messiah to the Jewish nation.You must listen to Him This command underscores the authority of the coming prophet. Listening implies obedience and submission to His teachings and commands. In the New Testament, Jesus is often portrayed as one who speaks with authority, and His teachings are central to Christian doctrine. This phrase highlights the importance of heeding His words for guidance and salvation.in everything He tells you The scope of the prophet's authority is comprehensive, covering all aspects of life and faith. This reflects the belief that Jesus' teachings are complete and sufficient for guiding believers in all matters of faith and practice.

The appeal is made to Moses in his two-fold character as lawgiver and prophet. As the words stand, taken with their context, they seem to point to the appearance of a succession of true prophets as contrasted with the diviners of <a href="/deuteronomy/18-14.htm" title="For these nations, which you shall possess, listened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for you, the LORD your God has not suffered you so to do.">Deuteronomy 18:14</a>; and, even with St. Peter's interpretation before us, we may well admit those prophets as primary and partial fulfilments of them. But the words had naturally fixed the minds of men on the coming of some one great prophet who should excel all others, and we find traces of that expectation in the question put to the Baptist, "Art thou the prophet?" (<a href="/john/1-21.htm" title="And they asked him, What then? Are you Elias? And he said, I am not. Are you that prophet?

None that came between Moses and Jesus had been "like unto the former," as marking a new epoch, the channel of a new revelation, the giver of a new law.In all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.--The words are inserted by St. Peter as a parenthesis in the actual quotation, and suggest the thought of a quotation from memory.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 22. - Moses indeed said for Moses truly said unto the fathers, A.V. and T.R.; the Lord God for the Lord your God, A.V. and T.R.; from among for of, A.V.; to him shall ye hearken for him shall ye hear, A V. ; speak for say, A.V.

A prophet, etc. The quotation is from <a href="/deuteronomy/18-15.htm">Deuteronomy 18:15-18</a>. That this was understood by the Jews to relate to some one great prophet who had not yet come, appears from the question "Art thou that prophet?" (<a href="/john/1-21.htm">John 1:21</a>), and from the saying of the Jews after the miracle of the loaves and fishes, "This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world" (<a href="/john/6-14.htm">John 6:14</a>; <a href="/john/7-40.htm">John 7:40</a>). St. Peter here teaches that that prophet was none other than Christ himself, who was like unto Moses in the fullness of the revelation given unto him, in his being a Mediator between God and the people, in being the Author of a new law - the law of faith and love, in building a new tabernacle for God to inhabit, even the Church in which he will dwell for ever and ever (see <a href="/hebrews/1-1.htm">Hebrews 1:1, 2</a>). <a href="/commentaries/acts/3-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For μὲν (men) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3303.htm">Strong's 3303: </a> A primary particle; properly, indicative of affirmation or concession; usually followed by a contrasted clause with de.
