As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See! I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way.

Jesus had been telling them, "A prophet is without honor only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own home."

Others were saying, "He is Elijah." Still others were saying, "He is a prophet like one of the other prophets."

What profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?

But if we say, "From humans'"?" They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.
