And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
All Commentaries on Luke 1:76 Go To Luke 1
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
Observe, I pray, this also, that Christ is the Highest, Whose forerunner John was both in his birth, and in his preaching. What remains, then, for those to say, who lessen 3 His divinity? And why will they not understand, that when Zacharias said, "And thou shalt be called Prophet of the Highest," he meant thereby "of God," of Whom also were the rest of the prophets.
