According to Peter in Acts 3, Jesus fulfilled the Messianic prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15-18 concerning the prophet like unto Moses. To this day, the only two people who have miraculously fed a multitude in the wilderness with bread are Moses and Jesus (Exodus 16:15-18 / Matthew 14:19).

Based on the book “Finding Jesus in the Old Testament.”
