Deutoronomy 18:15
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.
I thought Jesus was the son of God and not a prophet... so a prophet like Moses??? Would you think Mohammad fits the criteria?

Muhammad is just a self-appointed prophet, nothing else. Jesus actually fulfilled prophecy and foretold all. What exactly did Muhammad do? Oh yeah, raped, ordered murders, looted and lied. Great prophet.
May God Bless you.

Yes, Jesus is both Son of God and a prophet. Moreover, he is the Jewish Messiah. Who God raised from the dead and who sits at the right hand of God.
Here is the entire passage dealing with the prophet, Deut 18:14-22 (NIV). This is a criteria for a prophet not prophesy. Note verses 21-22:
14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so. 15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."
17 The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. 19 If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

Jesus is the Son of God for Christians. Moses and Mohamed are both Prophets. I do not know what you are trying to get at ? All Prophets are made to be listened to, at different times in history, without putting relative values on their respective teachings !

Jesus is the Son of God and a prophet - he said He was Himself.
