Context of Acts 3:22
20so times of relief might come from the presence of Adonai and He might send Yeshua, the Messiah appointed for you. 21Heaven must receive Him, until the time of the restoration of all the things that God spoke about long ago through the mouth of His holy prophets. Moses said, ‘Adonai your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers. Hear and obey Him in all that He shall say to you. 23And it shall be that every soul that will not listen to that Prophet shall be completely cut off from the people.’ 24Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel on have announced these days.

Commentaries on Acts 3:22
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22Moses truly said unto the fathers - On this subject the reader is requested to refer to the note at Deuteronomy 18:22. From this appeal to Moses it is evident that Peter wished them to understand that Jesus Christ was come, not as an ordinary prophet, to exhort to repentance and amendment, But as a legislator, who was to give them a new law, and whose commands and precepts they were to obey, on pain of endless destruction. Therefore they were to…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22For Moses truly said - The authority of Moses among the Jews was absolute and final.

Peter takes it for granted that, in the light of all he had just said, it would be seen at once that One only had any claim to be that Prophet. him shall ye hear in all things, &c.--This part of the prediction is emphatically added, in order to shut up the audience to the obedience of faith, on…Read the comment
