This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

9. περισσότερον προφήτου. Other prophets foresaw the Messiah, the Baptist beheld Him, and ushered in His kingdom: he was the herald of the king. Further, John was himself the subject of prophecy.

περισσότερον, late for πλέον. As περισσὸς has in itself a comparative force, the form περισσότερον is due to the redundance of expression characteristic of the later stage of a language.
