"They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
They answering said, John the Baptist,.... This was the opinion of some who thought that he was risen from the dead, as in Luk 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 Luk 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 Luk 9:8
