While others were in doubt or enquiring, the worthless multitude confessed Him; “But the people said, This is Jesus the Prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.” They begin with the lesser that they may come to the greater. They hail Him as that Prophet whom Moses had said should come like to himself, [marg. note: Deut 15:18] which is rightly written in Greek with the testimony of the article, “From Nazareth of Galilee,” [marg. note: ὁ προφήτης] for there He had been brought up, that the flower of the field might be nourished with the flower of all excellencies.
