Matthew 11:11

11:11 “I tell you the truth, 1  among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least 2  in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.

Matthew 26:24

26:24 The Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born.”

1 tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

2 sn After John comes a shift of eras. The new era is so great that the lowest member of it (the one who is least in the kingdom of God) is greater than the greatest one of the previous era.
