“What then?” they asked him. “Are you Elijah?”

“I am not,” he said.

“Are you the Prophet?”

“No,” he answered.

He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord—just as Isaiah the prophet said.”

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”

“Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet.

Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

When the people saw the sign He had done, they said, “This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world!”

When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”

“You aren’t from Galilee too, are you?” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”

Again they asked the blind man, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?”

“He’s a prophet,” he said.

But this was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet, who said:

Lord, who has believed our message?
And who has the arm of the Lord
been revealed to?
