King James Bible
"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."
The crowd witnessed Jesus feeding five thousand with five loaves and two fish, a sign of divine power. Their response shows the miracle's immediate impact, compelling them to make a theological declaration about Jesus' identity. The people confidently identify Jesus as "the Prophet," referencing Moses' prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15-18 about God raising up a prophet like himself. This recognition connects Jesus to Jewish messianic expectations. The phrase indicates the people understood this prophet was destined to appear at a specific time in history. Their use of "should come" reveals they believed they were witnessing the fulfillment of long-awaited scriptural promises.
