The challenge for the Jews is that they have no easy way of identifying the Messiah when he comes, for their Scriptures do not teach them to expect the arrival of a divine man but the arrival of “a prophet like me,” i.e. a prophet like Moses: “Yahweh your God will raise up a prophet like me; you will listen to him.” (Dt.18:15, NJB; quoted by Stephen in Acts 7:37)
