John 7:20 Context
18He that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnesse is in him. 19Did not Moses giue you the Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? Why goe ye about to kill me? 20The people answered, and sayd, Thou hast a deuill: Who goeth about to kill thee? 21Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, I haue done one worke, and yee all marueile. 22Moses therefore gaue vnto you Circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and yee on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

People's Bible Notes for John 7:20
Joh 7:20 The people answered. Not "the Jews", but the masses. They did not then know that the rulers were seeking his death, and hence rebukes such a suggestion. Thou hast a devil. Such a mistake must be due to the whisper of a demon, they thought.
