22 摩西說過:『主─你們的上帝要從你們同胞中為你們興起一位先知,像他興起我一樣。他向你們說的話,你們都得聽從。 23 不聽從這位先知的話的人要從上帝的子民中除滅。』 24 所有傳信息的先知們,包括撒母耳和他的後繼者,都宣佈這些日子所要發生的事。 25 你們是先知的繼承人;你們承接上帝與你們的祖先所立的約。上帝對亞伯拉罕說過:『我要藉著你的後代賜福給地上萬民。』 26 所以,上帝興起他的僕人,先差遣他到你們這裏來,賜福給你們,使你們每一個人都回頭,離開邪惡的道路。」
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. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.’ 'Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have foretold these days. And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’ When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.’

基督耶穌是上帝設立的先知,但是祂比摩西更尊貴,祂不僅有先知之職分,更是上帝的獨生愛子。
耶穌基督是先知,我們這因為信祂得兒子名份的人,也領受到先知之職分。上帝也將傳福音之使命賜給我們,所以我們也真為先知了!也因為如此我們要勇敢傳揚上帝信息,履行先知之責任。
