Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jesus went out, and his disciples,.... From Bethsaida and even from Galilee
into the towns Caesarea Philippi; in the jurisdiction of Philip, tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis; for this Caesarea was rebuilt by him and called so in honour of Tiberius Caesar; and the towns and villages adjacent to it are here intended: :-;
and by the way he asked his disciples; as they were going from Galilee to those parts:
saying unto them; whom do men say that I am? not that he needed any information of this; for he knew not only what was said by men but What was in them; but he put this question, in order to bring out their sense of, and faith in him, and to impart something to them which was necessary they should be acquainted with;
:-, where it is read, "whom do men say that I, the son of man am?"
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage illustrated in the notes at Matthew 16:13-28.
Mark 8:32
He spake that saying openly - With boldness or confidence, or without parables or figures, so that there could be no possibility of misunderstanding him.
Mark 8:38
Ashamed of me - Ashamed to own attachment to me on account of my lowly appearance and my poverty.
And of my words - My doctrines, my instructions.
This adulterous and sinful generation - This age given to wickedness, particularly to adultery.
In the glory of his Father - In the day of judgment. See the notes at Matthew 26:64. The meaning of this verse is, Whosoever shall refuse, through pride or wickedness, to acknowledge and serve Christ here, shall be excluded from his kingdom hereafter. He was lowly, meek, and despised; yet there was an inimitable beauty in his character even then. But he will come again in awful grandeur; not as the babe of Bethlehem, not as the man of Nazareth, but as the Son of God, in majesty and glory. They that would not acknowledge him here must be rejected by him there; they that would not serve him on earth will not enjoy his favor in heaven; they that would cast Him out and despise him must be cast out by him, and consigned to eternal, hopeless sorrow.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
