Personally I believe Jesus is referring to Himself in the second part of His statement. I have looked at the original Greek and the context and also other supporting Bible verses. It seems to work - here are a few things of what I found: Firstly, the Greek translation does NOT contain "prophet", as for example KJV or the Catholic Douay version. "mikroterov', i.e. "least" is used in a positive sense -while Jesus prefers to use 'elaxistov' for 'least [in the kingdom]' in a negative sense (eg. Matt 5:19). It fits well into the context of both Luke 7 and Matthew 11, into Jesus comparing Himself to John, and it is also supported by other Bible passages (e.g. Phil 2:6-11). Yet, as I see, many have interpreted it in a different way... |
