Contradiction with Matthew 11:11
This verse suggests John the Baptist is the greatest born of women, contrasting with his claim of unworthiness in John 1:27.
Matthew 11:11: 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.
Contradiction with Mark 1:7
Although similar, this implies an acknowledgment of Jesus' greatness without self-deprecation, subtly differing from John's humility being highlighted in John 1:27.
Mark 1:7: And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
Contradiction with John 1:15
Here, John exclaims Jesus' preexistence, which paradoxically elevates Jesus but doesn't directly align with John 1:27's specific subservience.
John 1:15: John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
Contradiction with Luke 7:28
Jesus states that none greater than John has been born of women, which is at odds with John's own statement of unworthiness in John 1:27.
Luke 7:28: For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
