[[John-06]] Prev: [[Prophecies in John-05]] | Next: [[Prophecies in John-07]] --- ### When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world." *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The crowd identifies Jesus as the long-awaited 'Prophet' promised to Israel, specifically the one like Moses. *Historical context*: Theological scholars and historians identify this as a direct reference to the prophecy in [[Deut-18#v15|Deuteronomy 18:15]], where Moses predicted that God would raise up a prophet like him from among the Israelites. The feeding of the five thousand served as a miraculous sign mirroring Moses' provision of manna, leading the crowd to believe the prophecy was fulfilled. *Related to*: [[Deut-18#v15|Deuteronomy 18:15]] ### It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father and has learned, comes to me. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jesus cites the prophetic promise that God would directly instruct His people, applying it to those currently responding to His ministry. *Historical context*: This is a fulfillment of [[Isa-54#v13|Isaiah 54:13]], which describes a future era where all the children of Zion would be taught by the Lord. The New Testament writers, including John, view this as the 'New Covenant' where the Holy Spirit provides internal illumination to believers. *Related to*: [[Isa-54#v13|Isaiah 54:13]] ### This is the will of my Father who sent me, that of all he has given to me I should lose nothing, but should raise him up at the last day. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts the future resurrection of all believers at the end of time. *Historical context*: This prophecy remains a central tenet of Christian eschatology. Historically, it defines the early Christian expectation of a physical resurrection at the 'Parousia' or second coming, as detailed further in [[1 Cor|1 Corinthians 15]] and [[1 Thess|1 Thessalonians 4]]. *Related to*: ### Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that He will offer His own body/flesh as a sacrifice to provide eternal life to the world. *Historical context*: Theologians recognize this as a prophecy of the Crucifixion of Jesus, which occurred roughly one year after this discourse during the following Passover. It is also viewed as the institution of the theology behind the Eucharist or Last Supper. *Related to*: ### Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts His own future ascension back to heaven. *Historical context*: This prophecy was fulfilled according to the New Testament record in [[Acts-01#v9|Acts 1:9]]-11 and [[Luke-24#v51|Luke 24:51]], where Jesus is described as being taken up into heaven in the presence of His disciples forty days after His resurrection. *Related to*: ### Jesus answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that one of His inner circle of twelve disciples will betray Him. *Historical context*: This prophecy was fulfilled in the events of the Passion, specifically in [[John-18#v1|John 18:1]]-5 and [[Matt-26#v47|Matthew 26:47]]-50, when Judas Iscariot led the temple guards to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
