AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:25 They asked him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" |
Bible Question: IN this passage John is asked about if he is the Christ, Elijah or Prophet; who is the Prophet they are talking about? It must be someone else than Elijah. Who? |
Bible Answer: Excellent question, Pastor Bob! The MacArthur Study Bible has a good answer here.. ".."Are you the Prophet?" This is a reference to Deut. 18:15-18 which predicted God would raise up a great prophet like Moses who would function as His voice. While some in John's time interpreted this prophecy as referring to another forerunner of Messiah, the NT (Acts 3:22,23; 7:37) applies the passage to Jesus." (pg. 1575, 1997 Word Publishing [John 1:21]) - Nolan |
