Did Jesus Say That John The Baptist Was Greater Than Our Lady?
Matthew 11:11- “Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. “
The statement of Jesus, which is recorded Matthew 11:11, is about John being the greatest of the prophets. That's clear from the preceding context of Matthew 11 (see verse 9), as well as from the parallel passage in Luke (according to most manuscripts) which specifies that Jesus is talking about prophets.
Matthew 11:9- “What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.”
Luke 7:28: “For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Thus, Matthew 11:11 is not addressing who is the holiest person ever created. That would be Our Lady.
