Deuteronomy 18:15

“The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet, etc.] Not Joshua, as Aben Ezra, not Jeremiah, as Baal Haturim, nor David f224, as others; nor a succession of prophets, as Jarchi; for a single person is only spoken of; and there is a dissimilitude between Moses and anyone of the prophets, and all of them in succession, (<053410>Deuteronomy 34:10-12), but the Messiah, with whom the whole agrees; and upon this the expectation of a prophet among the Jews was raised, (<430614>John 6:14) and is applied to him, and referred to as belonging to him in (<440322>Acts 3:22 7:37), who was a prophet mighty in word and deed, and not only foretold future events, as his own sufferings and death, and…”

“CHRIST THE PROPHET IS TO BE HEARD. (Deu 18:15-19) The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet--The insertion of this promise, in connection with the preceding prohibition, might warrant the application (which some make of it) to that order of true prophets whom God commissioned in unbroken succession to instruct, to direct, and warn His people; and in this view the purport of it is, "There is no need to consult with diviners and soothsayers, as I shall afford you the benefit of divinely appointed prophets, for judging of whose credentials a sure criterion is given" (Deu 18:20-22). But the prophet here promised was pre-eminently the Messiah, for He alone was "like unto Moses" (see on…”

“The ancient fathers of the Church and the generality of modern commentators have regarded our Lord as the prophet promised in these verses. It is evident from the New Testament alone that the Messianic was the accredited interpretation among the Jews at the beginning of the Christian era (compare the marginal references, and John 4:25); nor can our Lord Himself, when He declares that Moses “wrote of Him” John 5:45-47, be supposed to have any other words more directly in view than these, the only words in which Moses, speaking in his own person, gives any prediction of the kind. But the verses seem to have a further, no less evident if subsidiary, reference to a prophetical order which should…”

“Will raise up - Will produce and send into the world in due time. A prophet like unto me - Christ was truly, and in all commendable parts like him, in being both a prophet and a king and a priest and mediator, in the excellency of his ministry and work, in the glory of his miracles, in his familiar and intimate converse with God. Deuteronomy 18:19”

“18:15 A prophet like me would be beyond the ordinary because Moses was without peer among the prophets (see 34:10-11). This prophet would be from among your fellow Israelites (literally from among your brothers), and Israel was required to listen to him (18:19). The prophets of Old Testament Israel would partially fulfill the function of God’s spokesman to whom Israel must listen. Later, Judaism looked for this prophet as a major messianic figure (see John 1:21; 6:14; 7:40); the New Testament identifies Jesus as this prophet (Acts 3:18-26).”

“a Prophet: Deu 18:18, Deu 18:19; Joh 1:45; Act 3:22, Act 3:23, Act 7:37 like unto me: Deu 5:5, Deu 34:10; Luk 24:19; Ti1 2:5; Heb 1:1, Heb 1:2, Heb 2:1-3, Heb 3:2-6 unto him: Mat 17:5; Luk 9:35, Luk 10:16; Joh 6:29; Heb 1:2; Jo1 3:23 Deuteronomy 18:16”
