John 7:40

When they heard these words, some in the crowd were saying, "This really is the Prophet,"

The crowds kept saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, the man from Nazareth in Galilee."

So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they kept saying, "Truly this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"
