Context of John 10:19

17The Father loves me because I choose to die for my sheep. But after I give my life like that, I will become alive again. 18Nobody can take my life away from me. Instead, I myself can choose to die. I have authority to do that. I also have authority to become alive again. My Father has said that I must do that.’ Again, the Jews could not agree about these things that Jesus said. 20Many of them said, ‘He has a demon in him and he is crazy. You should not listen to him!’ 21But other people said, ‘A man with a demon in him could not teach like this! A demon could not make blind people able to see!’

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.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 19-21Jesus divided his audience yet again (see also 6:66–69; 7:43; 9:16). His words and actions led people to one of two responses: opposition or faith. He is demon-possessed: Compare 7:20; 8:48–49, 52.Read the comment

There was a division ... again among the Jews for these sayings--the light and the darkness revealing themselves with increasing clearness in the separation of the teachable from the obstinately prejudiced. The one saw in Him only "a devil and a madman"; the other revolted at the thought that such words could come from one possessed, and sight be given to the blind by a demoniac; showing clearly that a deeper impression had been made upon them than…Read the comment
