Luke 3:15
Douay-Rheims
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
Adam Clarke
Whether he were the Christ - So general was the reformation which was produced by the Baptist's preaching that the people were ready to consider him as the promised Messiah. Thus John came in the spirit and power of Elijah, and reformed all things; showed the people, the tax-gatherers, and the soldiers, their respective duties, and persuaded them to put away the evil of their doings. See the note on Mat 17:11.
