Not to be confused with John the Baptist. Whom did Jesus say would be considered least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
As on the other question I asked on this forum along the same lines, there will be no thumbs down. If you choose to act out of immaturity - or even outright meanness - it's entirely on you. I will, however, give a thumbs up to answers that have part or all of the answer.

Matthew 5:19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You had an answer that talked about those teaching others to do wrong would be called least. I would say that all Kingdoms had there dungeons too in case he might have been thinking sinners went to Heaven. I think they even called these dungeons Gaol, just like the Lord called Hell.

Matthew 5:10
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus was comparing John the baptist who died prior to Jesus, to the least one who has a heavenly hope.
Because John died prior to Jesus, John will be in the earthly paradise with Moses, Abraham, David and all the other faithful men and women of old, and the evil doer who died with Christ.

The Pharisees, who are analagous to all the people on this site who are so sure that they're going to heaven.
