Who was the greatest: Jesus, Solomon, or John the Baptist?
Solomon
I have given thee [Solomon] a wise and an
understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee
shall any arise like unto thee. 1 Kings 3:12
Jesus
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for
she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a
greater than Solomon is here. Matthew 12:42
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn
them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold,
a greater than Solomon is here. Luke 11:31
Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Colossians 2:2-3
John the Baptist
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:11
