Christ was baptized by Saint John.He find the inner peace and achivement of God with kindness of his prophet master St. Johan.The master for a follower is above everything in the world.So he is saying in the glory of his master that no one is born on the earth greater than John.Then he is saying about the value of humbleness and meekness.Least mean of lowest ego or egoless or feeling himself as least of all the man made by God.No one is greater than John in kingdom of heaven.But christ is saying this to appreciate us for being humble and reduce ego which make the way for going to God easy.

Of ALL born of women from the beginning until that his own time none is greater than John the Baptist and the reason for that is because John the Baptist was 1. sent to prepare the way of the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST Matthew 11 10 which no other man or woman was commissioned to do that because ' '...all the prophets and law prophesied... ' 'about Christ coming ' '...until John ' ' Matthew 11 13 came to prepare the way. 2. He was MORE THAN A PROPHET Matthew 11 9 . BUT HE that is LEAST IN THE KINGDOM that is the christian who has been converted lastly in to the kingdom of God is greater than him. It then means that all converted christians are greater than him.
