John the Baptist...

"I solemnly assure you, history has not known a man born of woman greater than John the Baptizer." Jesus says in Matthew 11:11. Why this rarest of rare compliment? May be John might have been Jesus' teacher too in some way. John also seemed to have noticed the greatness of this 'disciple' and so introduces him to his other disciples like Andrew and John. The appreciation of their master and the special introduction might have led them closer to Jesus and they in turn bring their siblings to Jesus.
