John 7:20

John 7:20

18 ^aHe who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who ^bseeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and ^cno unrighteousness is in Him.

19 ^aDid not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? ^bWhy do you seek to kill Me?”

20 The people answered and said, ^a“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”

21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.

22 ^aMoses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, ^bbut from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

Barnes' Notes

<< John 7:19

John 7:21 >>

The people - Perhaps some of the people who were not aware of the designs of the rulers.

Thou hast a devil - Thou art deranged or mad. See John 10:20. As they saw no effort to kill him, and as they were ignorant of the designs of the rulers, they supposed that this was the effect of derangement.
