The answer

Dr. Mundhir Al-Saqqar, in his book "Did the Bible Prophesy Muhammad (peace be upon him)?", mentions prophecies from the Gospel, including what is found in Matthew 11:11-15 and Luke 7:26, where Christ said about John the Baptist: "He who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." And that this "least" is Elijah who is to come. Dr. Mundhir believes that this refers to Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was "least" by virtue of his later arrival in time, but surpassed them by the completeness of his message.

Dr. Mundhir also mentioned another prophecy from the Gospel of John (14:15-30, 15:26 - 16:14), where Christ spoke of "another Comforter" or "the Spirit of Truth" whom the Father would send to abide forever and guide into truth. Muslims believe that this Comforter is Muhammad (peace be upon him), especially since ancient translations used the Greek word "Paraclete," which could mean "Muhammad" or "Ahmad" if it were "Periclytos" instead of "Parakletos."
