Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way,

And Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown, and among his relatives, and in his [own] household."

But others were saying, "He is Elijah," and others were saying, "[He is] a prophet like one of the prophets."

But if we say, 'From men'"--they were afraid of the crowd, because they all looked upon John {as truly a prophet}.
