Translation Help Needed

I need some help with the following sentence in a Koine Greek texbook.

LEGEI OUN PROFHTHS EKEINOS hON DIDASKEI IHSOUS: 
PISTEUW.

The first part-Is it "That one is a prophet and he says" or is it "That
prophet says"?

The second part-
is it "Whom jesus teaches I believe"? or is it "Jesus teaches whom I
believe"? Does jesus teach the people I already believe or does he teach
people and then I believe them? (or I could be completely wrong)

I'm not sure why 'Pi' in the last word is capitalized. It looks like the
first part of the sentence leads to a quotation but the lesson on
quotations does not come until the next chapter. To sum up; I'm just a
very confused person. Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.
