20 Many of them said, "He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?"
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?"
20 A lot of them were saying, "He's crazy, a maniac - out of his head completely. Why bother listening to him?"
20 And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"
20 Some said, "He's demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 10:20
Commentary on John 10:19-21
(Read John 10:19-21)
Satan ruins many, by putting them out of conceit with the word and ordinances. Men would not be laughed out of their necessary food, yet suffer themselves thus to be laughed out of what is far more necessary. If our zeal and earnestness in the cause of Christ, especially in the blessed work of bringing his sheep into his fold, bring upon us evil names, let us not heed it, but remember our Master was thus reproached before us.
