Matthew 16:14

And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

Theophylact of Ochrid

AD 1107
Among those who called Him John was Herod, who thought that John after rising from the dead had also received the gift of working miracles. Those who thought He was Elijah did so because of the way in which Christ rebuked and because Elijah was expected to return. Those who thought He was Jeremiah, did so because of His natural wisdom acquired without any instruction. For while Jeremiah was yet a child, he was commanded to prophesy.
