Bede : This is Moses who said to the sons of Israel: God will raise up for you a prophet from among your brothers, like me. Like me, visible in the flesh, but more wonderful in majesty and more terrible in majesty than I. He says, lest the doctrine of Christ be thought new and foreign, it is Moses himself, whom your fathers did not wish to obey, who preaches and says that he will come in the form of a man and will give the precepts of life to all souls. — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : This the blessed Stephen brought forward, hinting to them the mystery according to Christ, and showing that Moses also had spoken to you about him. For God and Father announces again the incarnation of His own offspring through the all-wise Moses, and that a second lawgiver will be raised up for us, having spoken the law formerly to the earlier ones himself through angels, and in the last times revealed as a worker for us, and having sent an angel as agent of the New Covenant, the angel of the great counsel of the Father. And this is what the phrase "like me" indicates, that is, as lawgiver. But he calls the Lord of the prophets a prophet because of his humanity. "like me," treated with contempt by those from whom he ought to have received honor. Each gave a law, having previously done signs; yet even therefore neither of them were willing to obey. — Commentary on Acts Pseudo-Clement : "But also a witnessing voice was heard from heaven, saying, 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear Him.' And in addition to this, willing to convict more fully of error the prophets from whom they asserted that they had learned, He proclaimed that they died desiring the truth, but not having learned it, saying, 'Many prophets and kings desired to see what ye see, and to hear what you hear; and verily I say to you, they neither saw nor heard.' Still further He said, 'I am he concerning whom Moses prophesied, saying, A Prophet shall the Lord our God raise unto you of your brethren, like unto me: Him hear in all things; and whosoever will not hear that Prophet shall die.'
