Matthew:11:9
rwp@Matthew:11:9 @{And much more than a prophet} (\kai perissoteron prophtou\). Ablative of comparison after \perissoteron\ itself comparative though meaning exceeding (surrounded by, overflowing). John had all the great qualities of the true prophet: "Vigorous moral conviction, integrity, strength of will, fearless zeal for truth and righteousness" (Bruce). And then he was the Forerunner of the Messiah (Malachi:3:1|).
