Exegesis
The comparative particle hōs {ὡς | hōs} opens a clause with prophētēn {προφήτην | pro-phḗ-tēn} “prophet,” and echousin {ἔχουσιν | é-chou-sin} conveys the crowd’s perception of John. This structure highlights the leaders’ dilemma amid popular acclaim.
In context — Matthew 21:26
But if we say, “From men,” we fear the crowd , for all consider John to be a prophet .
