The New Testament anticipates a Prophet to come, the one like Moses, which means that Jesus is not the Prophet but that the Prophet would be someone else, namely Muhammad.

Muslims often misunderstand the context of John 1:19-25, which shows that the Jews were inquiring about a Prophet among their own people, not a Gentile like Muhammad. If the Prophet was indeed to be a distinct figure from the Christ, as Muslims claim, they must also accept that the Jews believed this Prophet would be an Israelite. This is supported by the fact that John the Baptist, an Israelite, was asked if he was that Prophet. If Muslims concede that the Jews could be wrong about the nationality of the Prophet, they must also consider the possibility that they are mistaken in believing the Prophet and Christ are two different individuals. The New Testament affirms that Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecies about the Prophet like Moses, as seen in John 1:45 and Luke 24:25-27, where Jesus is identified as the one Moses wrote about, thus aligning him with the expected Prophet.
