According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet - Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, -

And Jesus was saying unto them - A prophet is not without honour, save in his own city and among his kinsfolk, and in his house;

But, others, were saying - It is Elijah, and, others were saying - A prophet, like one of the prophets!

For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?

But, should we say, Of men -- , they were in fear of the multitude, for, one and all, were holding John, in very deed, that he was, a prophet.
