They answering said, John the Baptist, etc.] This was the opinion of some who thought that he was risen from the dead, as in (<420907>Luke 9:7). but some say Elias; the prophet, and the Tishbite; who according to the Jewish notion, was to be the forerunner of the Messiah, so in (<420708>Luke 7:8). and others say: that one of the old prophets is risen again; thus were they divided in their sentiments about him. (See Gill on “<420908>Luke 9:8”)
