Matthew

Matthew 11:9–11

⁹What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰This is the one about whom it is written:

‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You,

who will prepare Your way before You.’^e

¹¹Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
