Matthew Henry Commentary John 10:19-21

"There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. And many of them said, He hath a demon, and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" — John 10:19-21 (ASV)

Satan ruins many by causing them to lose respect for the word and ordinances. People would not be laughed out of their necessary food, yet they allow themselves to be laughed out of what is far more necessary in this way. If our zeal and earnestness in the cause of Christ, especially in the blessed work of bringing his sheep into his fold, brings evil names upon us, let us not heed it, but remember that our Master was similarly reproached before us.
