surpasseth

Outdoes all others

Surpasseth is an archaic form of surpasses, using the -eth ending that marked third-person singular verbs in Early Modern English.

It appears in the King James Bible and similar texts: the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding.

Modern readers encounter it mainly in religious contexts or deliberate archaism.
