He came to that which was His own [that which belonged to Him—His world, His creation, His possession], and those who were His own [people—the Jewish nation] did not receive and welcome Him.

The crowd answered, “You have a demon [You are out of Your mind]! Who wants to kill You?”

The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right when we say You are a Samaritan and [that You] have a demon [and are under its power]?”

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon. On the contrary, I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon [and are under its power]. Abraham died, and also the prophets; yet You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never, ever taste of death.’

Many of them said, “He has a demon and He is mad [insane—He raves and rambles]. Why listen to Him?”

Others were saying, “These are not the words and thoughts of one possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
