Bible Question: Luke 2:76 talks about John the baptist thus, "And you, child will be called the prophet of the Most High".

In John 1:21 the baptist denied that he was the Prophet.

My question then is for Matthew 11:9. What did the people expect to see in the wilderness. Who were they looking for?

Were they looking for a prophet or a Prophet? Who was the Expected One? Was indeed this One, "One who is more than a Prophet."

Would anyone like to agree with my interpretation? Matthew 11:9, "But why did you go out? To see a Prophet? Yes, I say to you, and One who is more than a Prophet. This is the One about whom it is written..."

Bible Answer: PROPHET. Greatest born of flesh. Why?? I believe because the Prophets and heroes of our faith all played a part in GODS unfolding revelation of His Son, and John was the one chosen to make the way clear for Him, and baptize Him.

The people were looking for their Messiah primarily I believe. Secondly they were looking for clarity in what to expect, but GOD keeps this to reveal to whoever He will. What they got was "repent, for the kingdom of GOD is at hand".
