First, let's verify that Christ was recognized as a prophet.
By people generally:
Matthew 21:
Then by His disciples:
Luke 24:
And by Himself, at His home town when they did not believe on Him:
Mark 6:

Let's establish that Yahushua kept Father Yahweh's commandments:
John 15:
1 John 3:
1 Peter 2:
-------
Now let's bring up the Law in the Old Testament regarding prophets.
(We'll have a witness from the New Testament in between each quote from the Law in Deuteronomy):
Deuteronomy 18:
Acts of the Apostles 3:
Deuteronomy 18:
John 12:
Deuteronomy 18:
John 5:
Deuteronomy 18:

Finally, let's take a look at an example of Yahushua Christ actually giving prophecy:
Luke 13:
Amen
By people generally:
Matthew 21:
11 And the multitude said, This is Yahushua the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Then by His disciples:
Luke 24:
19 ..Yahushua of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
And by Himself, at His home town when they did not believe on Him:
Mark 6:
4 ..A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house..
-------
Let's establish that Yahushua kept Father Yahweh's commandments:
John 15:
10 ..I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love..
1 John 3:
4 ..sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that..in him is no sin.
5 And ye know that..in him is no sin.
1 Peter 2:
21 ..Christ..
22 Who did no sin..
22 Who did no sin..

Now let's bring up the Law in the Old Testament regarding prophets.
(We'll have a witness from the New Testament in between each quote from the Law in Deuteronomy):
Deuteronomy 18:
17 And Yahweh said unto me [Moses]..
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee..
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee..
Acts of the Apostles 3:
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall Yahweh your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me..
Deuteronomy 18:
18 ..and [I Yahweh] will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
John 12:
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak..
Deuteronomy 18:
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
John 5:
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive..
Deuteronomy 18:
20 But the prophet..that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Revelation 20:
10 ..the lake of fire and brimstone..the false prophet..shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Finally, let's take a look at an example of Yahushua Christ actually giving prophecy:
Luke 13:
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahweh.
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahweh.
Amen
