“Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.”
After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, 'Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.' — the crowd's recognition of Jesus as the Prophet (ho prophetes) echoes Deuteronomy 18:15's promise of a prophet like Moses. Feeding bread in the wilderness (like manna) connects Jesus to the Exodus and Moses.
