Shalt be

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

Though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd, since they regarded him as a prophet.

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”

But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.

Highest

He will be great
and will be called the Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David.

But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.

And it will be said of Zion,
“This one and that one were born in her.”
The Most High Himself will establish her.

As she followed Paul and us she cried out, “These men, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation, are the slaves of the Most High God.”

Thou shalt

He will turn many of the sons of Israel
to the Lord their God.

as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah:

A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make His paths straight!

A voice of one crying out:

Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness;
make a straight highway for our God in the desert.

“See, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. Then the Lord you seek will suddenly come to His temple, the Messenger of the covenant you desire—see, He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.

Look, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes.

For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said:

A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make His paths straight!

This is the one it is written about:

Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You;

he will prepare Your way before You.

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:

Look, I am sending My messenger

ahead of You,

who will prepare Your way.

He said, “I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord

—just as Isaiah the prophet said.”

You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of Him.’

Before He came to public attention, John had previously proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
