Jesus Himself said that there was no one born who was greater than John.

So, by your interpretation, John is greater than Christ Himself.

[Judith Anne]

As I recall, (please correct me if I’m wrong) John’s birth was ALSO miraculous, as his mother, Elizabeth, was barren and too old to conceive. Isn’t that why her husband couldn’t speak until his birth, because he laughed?
