22. Moses 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.
23. Every person who does not obey that prophet will be destroyed and thus removed from the people.’
24. And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced these days.
25. You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed.’
26. God raised up his servant and sent him first to you, to bless you by turning each one of you from your iniquities.”
