'Eminent' in the Bible
But what did you [really] go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one [more eminent, more remarkable, and] far more than a prophet [who foretells the future].
He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;
Greet Rufus, an eminent and choice man in the Lord, also his mother [who has been] a mother to me as well.
For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.
I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.
