John 7:40

Then, [when they] heard these words, [some] from the crowd began to say, "This man is truly the Prophet!"

And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!"

And they asked him, "Then who [are] you? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not!" "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No!"

Now [when] the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, "This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!"
