Marcos 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:15

Others said that it is Elias
This was the opinion, either of many of the Jews, who expected that Elias the Tishbite would come in person, before the coming of the Messiah; and thought by the appearance and wonderful works of Jesus, that he was now come: or of Herod's courtiers, who said this to divert him from his notion of John the Baptist, which they might perceive was very distressing to him; though the former seems rather to be the sense:

others said, that it is a prophet:
or "the prophet", that was to come, whom Moses had spoken of, and the Jews expected; this was the opinion of others of them: or

as one of the prophets.
The word (h) , "or", is left out in some copies; and so it is in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; and then the sense is, this new prophet lately raised up, is as one of the old prophets, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others; or one of them had risen up.

Marcos 6:15 In-Context

13 Expulsavam muitos demônios e ungiam muitos doentes com óleo e os curavam.

14 O rei Herodes ouviu falar dessas coisas, pois o nome de Jesus havia se tornado bem conhecido. Algumas pessoas estavam dizendo: “João Batista ressuscitou dos mortos! Por isso estão operando nele poderes milagrosos”.

15 Outros diziam: “Ele é Elias”.E ainda outros afirmavam: “Ele é um profeta, como um dos antigos profetas”.

16 Mas, quando Herodes ouviu essas coisas, disse: “João, o homem a quem decapitei, ressuscitou dos mortos!”

17 Pois o próprio Herodes tinha dado ordens para que prendessem João, o amarrassem e o colocassem na prisão, por causa de Herodias, mulher de Filipe, seu irmão, com a qual se casara.
