“And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;”
The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah — the expectant wondering communicates heightened messianic expectation. John's ministry has created the conditions for the messianic arrival, and the crowd's private speculation about whether John himself might be the Messiah is the natural result of witnessing his extraordinary ministry.
