Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

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.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

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.
