Mark 8:26 - Barnes' Notes

Mark 8:26

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying,¹ “Neither go into the town, ^anor tell anyone in the town.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

27 ^aNow Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”

28 So they answered, ^a“John the Baptist; but some say, ^bElijah; and others, one of the prophets.”
