Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 16:14

Matthew 16:14. And they said, Some, &c.— Perhaps those who held Christ to be Elias, did not think him the Messiah, but only his forerunner; this being the received opinion of the whole nation, that Elias was to come before the Messiah, and anoint him when he came. Those who thought that he was John the Baptist risen from the dead, spoke suitably to the opinion of the Pharisees, "who (says Josephus) held that there was for good men an easy return to life." That he was Jeremiah, or one of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 16:14

14. And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist—risen from the dead. So that Herod Antipas was not singular in his surmise (Matthew 14:1; Matthew 14:2). some, Elias—(Compare Matthew 14:2- :). and others, Jeremias—Was this theory suggested by a supposed resemblance between the "Man of Sorrows" and "the weeping prophet?" or one of the prophets—or, as Luke (Luke 9:8) expresses it, "that one of the old prophets is risen again." In another report of the popular opinions which Mark (Luke... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 16:15

15. He saith unto them, But whom—rather, "who." say ye that I am?—He had never put this question before, but the crisis He was reaching made it fitting that He should now have it from them. We may suppose this to be one of those moments of which the prophet says, in His name, "Then I said, I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for naught, and in vain" ( :-): Lo, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree; and what is it? As the result of all, I am taken for John the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:14

There were many different opinions about who Jesus was. Some, including Herod Antipas, believed He was the resurrected John the Baptist (Matthew 14:2). Others believed He was the fulfillment of the Elijah prophecy, namely, the forerunner of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5-6; cf. Matthew 3:1-3; Matthew 11:9-10; Matthew 17:10-13). Some concluded that Jesus was the resurrected Jeremiah probably because of similarities between the men and their ministries. For example, both men were quite critical of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:15-16

The "you" in Matthew 16:15 is in the emphatic first position in the Greek text, and it is plural. Peter responded, therefore, partly as spokesman for the disciples, again (cf. Matthew 15:15). Peter said he believed Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah that the Old Testament prophesied, the hope of Israel (cf. Matthew 1:1). Matthew’s only use of Peter’s full name here, Simon Peter, highlights the significance of the disciple’s declaration.He further defined Jesus as the Son of the living God. This... read more

St. Peter’s great Confession1-4. A sign from heaven demanded (Mark 8:11 cp. Luke 11:16: see on Matthew 12:38). 1. Pharisees.. Sadducees] An unnatural and unholyalliance of men whose only bond of union was hatred of Jesus. The Sadducees had probably been sent from Jerusalem by the chief priests, but some regard them as the same as the Herodians mentioned by St. Mark, and, therefore, Galileans.From heaven] Jewish superstition held that the demons could work signs on earth, but that only God could... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 16:14

(14) And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist.—The passage is of the greatest possible interest as one of the very few that indicate the impressions shaped into beliefs that were floating among the people as to our Lord’s character and mission. They were based, it will be seen in each case, upon a popular doctrine of transmigration, to which the Pharisees had given a place in their system of teaching. The great actors of the past were still in existence. They might, at any great... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 16:15

(15) Whom say ye?—The pronoun is doubly emphasised in the Greek, “But ye—whom say ye . . .?” The question is, as has been said, parallel in tone, though not in form, to that of John 6:67. Had they still a distinct faith of their own? or were they, too, falling back into these popular surmises? read more
