JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ "But to the contrary, why did you come out? To see or perceive a prophet? Yes, I now say to you, even exceedingly more than a prophet. ¹⁰ "This person is he concerning whom it has been written, 'Look and consider!

[Mal. 3:1] ¹¹ "Truly, I am now saying to you folks, among those born of women there has not been raised up a person greater than John the Immerser (the baptizer; the Baptist). Yet the one of lesser importance (or: the least; the smaller) within the reign of the heavens (or: kingdom of the atmospheres) constantly exists being greater than him.
