Matthew 27:47
This man calleth for Elias - Probably these were Hellenistic Jews, who did not fully understand the meaning of our Lord' s words. Elijah was daily expected to appear as the forerunner of the Messiah, whose arrival, under the character of a mighty prince, was generally supposed to be at hand throughout the east. See Malachi 4:5; Matthew 2:2-4; Matthew 17:10-12.
