John 1:21
_ _ Elias — in His own proper person.
_ _ that prophet — announced in Deuteronomy 18:15, etc., about whom they seem not to have been agreed whether he were the same with the Messiah or no. |
John 1:21
Art thou Elijah? — He was not that Elijah (the Tishbite) of whom they spoke. Art thou the prophet — Of whom Moses speaks, Deuteronomy 18:15. |
John 1:21
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, (i) I am not. Art thou (k) that prophet? And he answered, No.
(i) The Jews thought that Elias would come again before the days of the Messiah, and they took as the basis of their opinion (Malachi 4:5), which is to be understood as referring to John, see (Matthew 11:14). And yet John denies that he is Elias, answering their question just as they meant it.
(k) They are inquiring about some great prophet, and not about Christ, for John denied before that he is Christ, for they thought that some great prophet would be sent like Moses, using to support this position (Deuteronomy 18:15), which is to be understood to refer to all the company of the prophets and ministers, which have been and shall be to the end, and especially of Christ who is the head of all prophets. |
- Art thou Elias:
Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for to come.
Matthew 17:10-12 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? ... But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

- Art thou that:
- or, Art thou a,
John 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John 7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
Deuteronomy 18:15-18 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; ... I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Matthew 11:9-11 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. ... Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 16:14 And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
