Isaiah 42:1BSB

“Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.

Earlier text

Deuteronomy 18:15BSB

The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him.

Significance

This second divine voice adds "listen to him" (Deuteronomy 18:15), identifying Jesus as the prophet like Moses whom Israel must heed on pain of judgment. This validates Jesus' shocking teaching about necessary suffering that Peter just rebuked (8:32-33). The transfiguration setting evokes Sinai (mountain, cloud, divine voice, glory), yet Jesus surpasses Moses by radiating glory from within. The presence of Moses and Elijah establishes continuity with Law and Prophets while demonstrating Jesus transcends both as the definitive interpreter of Torah and Prophets, embodying the messianic servant-prophet whose words carry ultimate divine authority.
