But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
All Commentaries on Luke 7:26 Go To Luke 7
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
John, therefore, having been sent by the founder and maker of this world, how could he testify of that Light, which came down from things unspeakable and invisible? For all the heretics have decided that the Demiurge was ignorant of that Power above him, whose witness and herald John is found to be. Wherefore the Lord said that He deemed him "more than a prophet."
