“Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.”
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet — hearing Jesus's words, many conclude he is 'the Prophet' (perhaps the eschatological prophet like Moses promised in Deuteronomy 18:15, or a forerunner of the Messiah). The identification is partial: they recognize his prophetic authority and power but do not affirm him as Messiah. This represents an intermediate faith—recognition of a significant role for Jesus without full confession.
