THE VERSES THAT SAYS JESUS WAS A PROPHET I challenged Christians to bring even one verse that Jesus says he is God. “The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee." (Mathew 21:11) Luke 7:16 “And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.” Luke 24:19 “And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:” John 6:14 “Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.” Mathew 14:5 “And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.” Mathew 21:46 “But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.” Matt 14:5 “ they counted him as a prophet.”Matt 21:46 “ they took Him for a prophet.” Note in Matt 14:5 and 21:46 people around Jesus considered him a prophet Matt 13:57 J”esus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.“About whom was Jesus talking?He, according to this verse, is referring to himself as a prophet.” John 7:40-41 “Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, "Truly this is the Prophet." V.41 Others said, "This is the Christ." In no single verse did Jesus corrected people’s opinion saying “ No, I am not a prophet, I am a god or a part of trinity For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God. Peter said: “God raised up his servant...” (Acts 3:26). Once more, Jesus stresses that Jesus was nothing more than a servant who worshipped God. Peter declared: “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.” (Acts 3:13).It is clear that Peter was interested in proving to people that Jesus was no more than a servant.
