Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 16 - Verse 14

Verse 14. And they said, etc. See Barnes "Mt 11:14".

They supposed he might be John the Baptist, as Herod did, risen from the dead. See Mt 14:2. He performed many miracles, and strongly resembled John in his manner of life, and in the doctrines which he taught.

{m} "they said" Mt 14:2; Lu 9:7-9
