The Bible never specifies who was the greatest prophet. Since a prophet is speaking for God and not for themselves they don't care who is the greatest, nor do Christians bother with this since they all have something valuable to learn from, both in word and action. The four 'major prophets' of the Old Testament, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel are all 'up there' mainly because of the great amount of their life and work we have record of as well as the greatness and volume of their prophetic message. Together with this their work went on for an extended period.

Totally unlike all of these is Jesus Christ who is much more than a prophet, but also Himself the fulfillment of much of their earlier prophecy and who will Himself fulfill some of His own prophecy regarding His future return.

Answer 1
Moses is typically considered the Greatest Prophet of Israel.

Deuteronomy 34:10-12, cited below NIV

10Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord

knew face to face,

11who did all those signs and wonders the Lord

sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land.

12For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.


Answer 2
Isaiah is a very famous prophet.

It depends on your reading of the Bible. The most common answer would likely be Moses since both Jews and Christians do not count Jesus as a Prophet.

However, any answer can be acceptable with sufficient support, like Isaiah.
