   "Then having said, that he is greater than a prophet, He signifies also in   
   what he is greater. And in what is he greater? In being near Him that was   
   come. For, “I send,” saith He, “my messenger before Thy face;” that is,   
   nigh Thee. For as with kings, they who ride near the chariot, these are   
   more illustrious than the rest, just so John also appears in his course   
   near the advent itself. See how He signified John’s excellency by this   
   also; and not even here doth He stop, but adds afterwards His own suffrage   
   as well, saying, “Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women,   
   there hath not arisen a greater than John the Bapti   
      
   st.”" St. John Chrysostom, on St. John, the Baptist.   
      
   "The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice.   
   The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide"   
   Psalm 37:30-31   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
