21 But others said, "These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
21 Others said, "These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
21 But others weren't so sure: "These aren't the words of a crazy man. Can a 'maniac' open blind eyes?"
21 Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
21 Others said, "This doesn't sound like a man possessed by a demon! Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 10:21
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.
