John 10:19-21

King James Version (KJV)


[SUP]19 [/SUP]There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

[SUP]21 [/SUP]Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?


John 10:19-21

New International Version (NIV)

[SUP]19 [/SUP]The Jews who heard these words were again divided. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”
[SUP]21 [/SUP]But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



19 Jesus often caused division. Jesus did not come to bringunity because cause even more division. We who follow after Jesus though shouldnot be divided.



20 There were those thought Jesus was crazy because Hebelieved the things He said. Others still claimed that no matter what He did itwas by the power of demons, this gave to much credit to demons. They crediteddemons for God’s work; they showed they did not truly know God because of this.



21 Then there are those who accept Jesus and see the thingsHe does as blessings from God, these are fewer in number than the first group.There were those who rejected Jesus after first hand seeing Him do Hismiracles, of course there will be those who reject Jesus today when He is nothere physically. Demons are not going to do good things, they may seem good butthey will never give God credit as Jesus had been doing.

"Why listen to him" John 10:19

They obviously did not like what he said. Most were impressed by the miracles, that was not enough for Jesus.

"If you abide in MY WORD, you are truly my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free." John 8:31-32

"But be on guard, I have told you all things beforehand." Mark 13:23, see also John 4:25-26
