Luke 7:26-28

Mace(i) 26 what then did you go to see? a prophet? yes, I say it, and more than a prophet. 27 he it is, of whom it is written, "behold, I send my messenger before you, who shall prepare the way for you." 28 I declare unto you, among the whole race of mankind, there is not a prophet, who is superiour to John the Baptist: yet he that is most inferiour in the kingdom of the Messiah, is greater than he.
