Matthew 11:9-11

9But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet:

10this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

11Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
