This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
27. ἰδού, ἀποστέλλω κ.τ.λ. Compare Luk 1:76; Mar 1:2. In the parallel passage of St Matthew our Lord adds that the Baptist is the promised Elias, Mat 11:11; Mat 11:14; Mat 17:10-13; Luk 1:17 (Mal 4:5). The quotation is from Mal 3:1, “Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me.” The words are varied because, in the original, God is speaking in His own person, and here the words are applied to Christ.
