Exegesis
The demonstrative houtos {οὗτος | hoûtos} ‘this one’ functions as subject of the copula estin {ἐστὶν | estín} ‘is,’ leading to the predicate nominative ho meizon {ὁ μείζων | ho meízōn} ‘the greatest,’ where meizon serves as superlative.
In context — Matthew 18:4
Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.
