“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
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. — Peter cites Deuteronomy 18:15-19, establishing a connection between the promised prophet (the messianic prophet like Moses) and Jesus. The prophet's status (hōs eme, like me) places him in continuity with Moses, the supreme lawgiver and covenant mediator. Listening to this prophet (akouō pas hosa lalēō, hear everything he says) is covenantal obedience and fundamental to salvation.
