A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
a prophet . . . like unto me--particularly in intimacy of communication with God (Num 12:6-8), and as the mediatorial Head of a new order of things (Heb 3:2-6). Peter takes it for granted that, in the light of all he had just said, it would be seen at once that One only had any claim to be that Prophet.

him shall ye hear in all things, &c.--This part of the prediction is emphatically added, in order to shut up the audience to the obedience of faith, on pain of being finally "cut off" from the congregation of the righteous (Psa 1:1).

1 Blessed [0835] is the man [0376] that walketh [01980] not in the counsel [06098] of the ungodly [07563], nor standeth [05975] in the way [01870] of sinners [02400], nor sitteth [03427] in the seat [04186] of the scornful [03887].
2 Who was [5607] faithful [4103] to him that appointed [4160] him [846], as [5613] also [2532] Moses [3475] was faithful in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624].
3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846].
4 For [1063] every [3956] house [3624] is builded [2680] by [5259] some [5100] man; but [1161] he that built [2680] all things [3956] is God [2316].
5 And [2532] Moses [3475] verily [3303] was faithful [4103] in [1722] all [3650] his [846] house [3624], as [5613] a servant [2324], for [1519] a testimony [3142] of those things which were to be spoken after [2980];
6 But [1161] Christ [5547] as [5613] a son [5207] over [1909] his own [846] house [3624]; whose [3739] house [3624] are [2070] we [2249], if [1437] [4007] we hold fast [2722] the confidence [3954] and [2532] the rejoicing [2745] of the hope [1680] firm [949] unto [3360] the end [5056].
6 And he said [0559], Hear [08085] now my words [01697]: If there be a prophet [05030] among you, I the LORD [03068] will make myself known [03045] unto him in a vision [04759], and will speak [01696] unto him in a dream [02472].
7 My servant [05650] Moses [04872] is not so, who is faithful [0539] in all mine house [01004].
8 With him will I speak [01696] mouth [06310] to mouth [06310], even apparently [04758], and not in dark speeches [02420]; and the similitude [08544] of the LORD [03068] shall he behold [05027]: wherefore then were ye not afraid [03372] to speak [01696] against my servant [05650] Moses [04872]?
18 I will raise them up [06965] a Prophet [05030] from among [07130] their brethren [0251], like unto thee, and will put [05414] my words [01697] in his mouth [06310]; and he shall speak [01696] unto them all that I shall command [06680] him.
15 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085];
16 For [1063] verily [1222] he took [1949] not [3756] on [1949] him the nature of angels [32]; but [235] he took on [1949] him the seed [4690] of Abraham [11].
17 Wherefore [3606] in [2596] all things [3956] it behoved him [3784] to be made like [3666] unto his brethren [80], that [2443] he might be [1096] a merciful [1655] and [2532] faithful [4103] high priest [749] in things pertaining to [4314] God [2316], to [1519] make reconciliation for [2433] the sins [266] of the people [2992].
11 For [1063] both [5037] he that sanctifieth [37] and [2532] they who are sanctified [37] are all [3956] of [1537] one [1520]: for [1223] which [3739] cause [156] he is [1870] not [3756] ashamed [1870] to call [2564] them [846] brethren [80],
21 And [2532] they asked [2065] him [846], What [5101] then [3767]? Art [1488] thou [4771] Elias [2243]? And [2532] he saith [3004], I am [1510] not [3756]. Art [1488] thou [4771] that prophet [4396]? And [2532] he answered [611], No [3756].
24 And [1161] he said [2036], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] No [3762] prophet [4396] is [2076] accepted [1184] in [1722] his own [846] country [3968].
11 And [1161] the multitude [3793] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] Jesus [2424] the prophet [4396] of [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056].
40 Many [4183] of [1537] the people [3793] therefore [3767], when they heard [191] this saying [3056], said [3004], Of a truth [230] this [3778] is [2076] the Prophet [4396].
14 Then [3767] those men [444], when they had seen [1492] the miracle [4592] that [3739] Jesus [2424] did [4160], said [3004], This [3754] [3778] is [2076] of a truth [230] that prophet [4396] that should come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
21 And [2532] they asked [2065] him [846], What [5101] then [3767]? Art [1488] thou [4771] Elias [2243]? And [2532] he saith [3004], I am [1510] not [3756]. Art [1488] thou [4771] that prophet [4396]? And [2532] he answered [611], No [3756].
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
15 And [1161] killed [615] the Prince [747] of life [2222], whom [3739] God [2316] hath raised [1453] from [1537] the dead [3498]; whereof [3739] we [2249] are [2070] witnesses [3144].
11 And [1161] as the lame man [5560] which was healed [2390] held [2902] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491], all [3956] the people [2992] ran together [4936] unto [4314] them [846] in [1909] the porch [4745] that is called [2564] Solomon's [4672], greatly wondering [1569].
12 And [1161] when Peter [4074] saw [1492] it, he answered [611] unto [4314] the people [2992], Ye men [435] of Israel [2475], why [5101] marvel ye [2296] at [1909] this [5129]? or [2228] why [5101] look ye so earnestly [816] on us [2254], as though [5613] by our own [2398] power [1411] or [2228] holiness [2150] we had made [4160] this man [846] to walk [4043]?
13 The God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] of Jacob [2384], the God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962], hath glorified [1392] his [846] Son [3816] Jesus [2424]; whom [3739] ye [5210] delivered up [3860], and [2532] denied [720] him [846] in [2596] the presence [4383] of Pilate [4091], when he was determined [2919] to let [630] him [1565] go [630].
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
1 Now [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] went up [305] together [1909] [846] into [1519] the temple [2411] at the hour [5610] of prayer [4335], being the ninth [1766] hour.
2 And [2532] a certain [5100] man [435] lame [5225] [5560] from [1537] his [846] mother's [3384] womb [2836] was carried [941], whom [3739] they laid [5087] daily [2250] [2596] at [4314] the gate [2374] of the temple [2411] which [3588] is called [3004] Beautiful [5611], to ask [154] alms [1654] of [3844] them that entered [1531] into [1519] the temple [2411];
3 Who [3739] seeing [1492] Peter [4074] and [2532] John [2491] about [3195] to go [1524] into [1519] the temple [2411] asked [2065] [2983] an alms [1654].
4 And [1161] Peter [4074], fastening his eyes [816] upon [1519] him [846] with [4862] John [2491], said [2036], Look [991] on [1519] us [2248].
5 And [1161] he gave heed [1907] unto them [846], expecting [4328] to receive [2983] something [5100] of [3844] them [846].
6 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [2036], Silver [694] and [2532] gold [5553] have [5225] I [3427] none [3756]; but [1161] such as [3739] [5124] I have [2192] give I [1325] thee [4671]: In [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] of Nazareth [3480] rise up [1453] and [2532] walk [4043].
7 And [2532] he took [4084] him [846] by the right [1188] hand [5495], and lifted him up [1453]: and [1161] immediately [3916] his [846] feet [939] and [2532] ankle bones [4974] received strength [4732].
8 And [2532] he leaping up [1814] stood [2476], and [2532] walked [4043], and [2532] entered [1525] with [4862] them [846] into [1519] the temple [2411], walking [4043], and [2532] leaping [242], and [2532] praising [134] God [2316].
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
6 Having [2192] then [1161] gifts [5486] differing [1313] according [2596] to the grace [5485] that is given [1325] to us [2254], whether [1535] prophecy [4394], let us prophesy according [2596] to the proportion [356] of faith [4102];
15 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085];
16 According to all that thou desiredst [07592] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] in Horeb [02722] in the day [03117] of the assembly [06951], saying [0559], Let me not hear [08085] again [03254] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] my God [0430], neither let me see [07200] this great [01419] fire [0784] any more, that I die [04191] not.
17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, They have well [03190] spoken that which they have spoken [01696].
18 I will raise them up [06965] a Prophet [05030] from among [07130] their brethren [0251], like unto thee, and will put [05414] my words [01697] in his mouth [06310]; and he shall speak [01696] unto them all that I shall command [06680] him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever [0376] will not hearken [08085] unto my words [01697] which he shall speak [01696] in my name [08034], I will require [01875] it of him.
15 The LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will raise up [06965] unto thee a Prophet [05030] from the midst [07130] of thee, of thy brethren [0251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken [08085];
22 When a prophet [05030] speaketh [01696] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], if the thing [01697] follow not, nor come to pass [0935], that is the thing [01697] which the LORD [03068] hath not spoken [01696], but the prophet [05030] hath spoken [01696] it presumptuously [02087]: thou shalt not be afraid [01481] of him.
