Context of Mark 8:26

24And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking. 25Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly. And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village. 27And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am? 28And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.
