Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 3:22

22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers , A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me ; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

Their Ancestors in the wilderness, Deut. 18.15. as also in the 8. ver. St. Peter names here but one of their Prophets, but a most remarkable one.

1. In Wisdom. 2. In Miracles. 3. In being a Mediator betwixt God and his people. 4. In their being both out of their brethren, (i. e. of the seed of Abraham) 5. In that they were both sent from God after an extraordinary manner.

If any Prophet did come amongst them, and did foretel future things which came to pass, or did work a real miracle, they were bound to believe him, if he did not endeavour to draw them to worship a false God; and by consequence they were bound to have believed our Saviour, who taught them onely to fear that true God, whom the Law and all the Prophets had spoken of.
