9 But what went you out for to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.

11 Truly I say to you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
