    In Luke 7:28 and Matthew 11:11, the dative plural masculine form occurs in the phrase “born of women,” which frames the group among whom no one is greater than John. The APB renders the phrase “among those born of women” in both verses before contrasting John with the smaller or least one in the kingdom.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the phrase identically as “among those born of women” in Luke 7:28 and Matthew 11:11. This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than isolating a separate English equivalent for the term.
