SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:27
¶ Sali Jess y sus discípulos por las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo. Y en el camino pregunt a sus discípulos, dicindoles: ¿Quin dicen los hombres que soy yo?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 8:27
Verse 27. And Jesus went out, &c.] See on Matt. xvi. 13-20.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And Jesus went out, and his disciples , etc..] 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: (see Gill on Matthew 16:13); 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; (see Gill on Matthew 16:13), where it is read, whom do men say that I, the son of man am?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-33 - These things are written, that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. These miracles of our Lord assure us that he was no conquered, but a Conqueror. Now the disciples are convinced that Jesu is the Christ; they may bear to hear of his sufferings, of which Chris here begins to give them notice. He sees that amiss in what we say an do, of which we ourselves are not aware, and knows what manner of spirit we are of, when we ourselves do not. The wisdom of man is folly when it pretends to limit the Divine counsels. Peter did not rightl understand the nature of Christ's kingdom.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:27 {Into the villages of Caesarea Philippi} (eis tas kwmas kaisarias tes filippou). Parts (mere) #Mt 16:13 has, the Caesarea of Philippi in contrast to the one down on the Mediterranean Sea. Mark means the villages belonging to the district around Caesarea Philippi. this region is on a spur of Mount Hermon in Iturea ruled by Herod Philip so that Jesus is safe from annoyance by Herod Antipas or the Pharisees and Sadducees. Up here on this mountain slope Jesus will have his best opportunity to give the disciples special teaching concerning the crucifixion just a little over six months ahead. So Jesus asked (eperwta, descriptive imperfect) {Who do men say that I am?} (tina me legousin hoi anqrwpoi einai;). #Mt 16:13 has "the Son of Man" in place of "I" here in Mark and in #Lu 9:18. He often described himself as "the Son of Man." Certainly here the phrase could not mean merely "a man." They knew the various popular opinions about Jesus of which Herod Antipas had heard (#Mr 3:21,31). It was time that the disciples reveal how much they had been influenced by their environment as well as by the direct instruction of Jesus.
