John 7:21

"The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights the skepticism and hostility towards Jesus among those who did not recognize his divine mission. Their accusation of demonic possession reflects their rejection of his teachings and attempts to discredit him, illustrating the spiritual blindness that often accompanies a refusal to accept God's truth.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 21. One work. The healing of the man on the Sabbath, John chapter 5. Ye all marvel. You all wonder or are amazed, and particularly that it was done on the Sabbath. This was the particular ground of astonishment, that he should dare to do what they esteemed a violation of the Sabbath. __________________________________________________________________
