John Mark
Mark 8:28KJV·traditional attribution
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
We have read a great deal of the doctrine Christ preached, and the miracles he wrought, which were many, and strange, and well-attested, of various kinds, and wrought in several places, to the astonishment of the multitudes that were eye-witnesses of them.
Commenting on Mark 8:27-38
John Gill Reformed Baptist
And they answered,.... That some said he was John the Baptist; which was the opinion of Herod, and others: but some say Elias; that is the "Tishbite", whom the Jews in general expected in person before the coming of the Messiah and imagined that Jesus was he: and others one of the prophets; as Jeremiah or Isaiah or some other.
