Jesus or Mohammad?

Deuteronomy xxxiii: 15 and 18, prophesized the advent of a prophet after Moses. The Muslims mantain that the prophet prophesized was Mohammad while the Christians mantain that it was Jesus. Lets see who fits the description in the prophesy. The following verses from the Old Testament form the basis of comparison.

Deuteronomy xxxiii:15 The Lord your God will raise up unto thee, a prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren, him you shall hear

Deuteronomy xxxiii:18 I will raise a prophet like you among their brethren and will put My words in his mouth
