Acts 3:22 (NKJV)
"For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.'“
This is Peter speaking. Not a council. Not a creed written centuries later. Peter — who walked with Yeshua, ate with him, watched him heal and teach — stands up in Jerusalem and tells Israel exactly who he was: the Prophet Moses foretold.
He does NOT upgrade him. He does NOT call him God. He quotes Deuteronomy and says, in plain language, God would raise up a Prophet like Moses, from among your brethren, and you shall hear him in all things. (That was God's own job description in Deuteronomy 18:18, and Peter applies it word for word.)
If the first believers needed a category, Peter gave it to them himself: PROPHET. Mighty, anointed, sent — yes. But a prophet carries Another's words. He does not author them. Listen to Peter before you listen to anyone who rewrote him later.
