MATTHEW 16:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.”
And they said: some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. The popular identifications of Jesus reflect the perception that he is a prophetic figure: John the Baptist (Herod's guilty conscience, Matthew 14:2), Elijah (the returning prophet of Malachi 4:5), Jeremiah (the suffering prophet of the exile), or one of the prophets. All the identifications honor Jesus as a significant figure but fall short of the reality.
