"Who was the greatest: Jesus, Solomon, or John the Baptist?" (Alleged Contradiction #E9228)
Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
I Kings 3:12
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
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
Response
Jesus Christ is obviously the greatest because He is God, and so He is an exception. Besides Jesus, John the Baptist was the greatest overall, and Solomon was the wisest.
