As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";

But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."

Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."

Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

Thereupon some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, while striking Him with their fists and crying, "Prove that you are a prophet." The officers too struck Him with open hands as they took Him in charge.
