John 8:48 Context
46Which of you conuinceth mee of sinne? And if I say the trueth, why doe ye not beleeue me? 47He that is of God, heareth Gods words: ye therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God. 48Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill? 49Iesus answered, I haue not a deuill: but I honour my Father, and ye doe dishonour me. 50And I seeke not mine owne glory, there is one that seeketh & iudgeth.

People's Bible Notes for John 8:48
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.
