Augustine of Hippo : "Like me," says Moses. This means according to the form of the flesh, not to the eminence of majesty. Therefore we find the Lord Jesus called a prophet. Accordingly that woman is no longer greatly in error when she says, "I see that you are a prophet." She begins to call her husband, to exclude the adulterer. "I see that you are a prophet." And she begins to ask about a thing that constantly disturbs her. — TRACTATE ON THE GOSPEL OF John 15.23.1 Cosmas Indicopleustes : A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you—him ye shall hear. And that man who shall not hear what ever that prophet shall speak in my name, that soul shall be cut off from his people. — The Christian Topography, Book 5 Origen of Alexandria : It is written in Deuteronomy, "[The Lord] your God will raise up a prophet like me for you from your brothers. You shall hear him; and it shall be that every soul which will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from his people." Therefore some prophet was specially expected who would be similar to Moses in some respect, to mediate between God and humanity, and who would receive the covenant from God and give the new covenant to those who became disciples. And the people of Israel knew so far as each of the prophets was concerned that no one of them was the [special] one announced by Moses. — COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF John 6.90
