“Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?”
King James Version (KJV)
8:48 Say we not well - Have we not just cause to say, Thou art, a Samaritan - An enemy to our Church and nation; and hast a devil? - Art possessed by a proud and lying spirit?
Joh 8:48 Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? They resort to the language of passion and vituperation. Of all men they hated the Samaritans most, and hence this charge. They next accuse him, not of having a devil, but of being possessed with a demon, or evil spirit.
Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill?
