Acts 3:22-23
22Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must obey ▼ him in everything he tells you . ▼▼ A quotation from Deut 18:15. By quoting Deut 18:15 Peter declared that Jesus was the eschatological “prophet like [Moses]” mentioned in that passage, who reveals the plan of God and the way of God.
23 Every person ▼▼ Grk “every soul” (here “soul” is an idiom for the whole person).
who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed ▼ from the people .’ ▼▼ A quotation from Deut 18:19, also Lev 23:29. The OT context of Lev 23:29 discusses what happened when one failed to honor atonement. One ignored the required sacrifice of God at one’s peril.
