But what went you out to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
All Commentaries on Matthew 11:9 Go To Matthew 11
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
John was more than a prophet because the other prophets only foretold Christ, while he was an eyewitness, indeed a great thing. And the others prophesied after their birth, while he, still in his mother’s womb, recognized Christ and leapt.
