Matthew 11:9

11:9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more ¹  than a prophet.

[11:9]  ¹ tn John the Baptist is “more” because he introduces the one (Jesus) who brings the new era. The term is neuter, but may be understood as masculine in this context (BDAG 806 s.v. περισσότερος b).
