Again there was division among the Jews The phrase "again there was division" indicates that this was not the first time Jesus' teachings caused a split among the Jewish people. This division is a recurring theme in the Gospels, highlighting the varied responses to Jesus' ministry. The Jewish community was diverse, with groups like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes holding different beliefs and expectations about the Messiah. Jesus' teachings often challenged the established religious norms, leading to disagreements and debates. This division can be seen as a fulfillment of prophecies such as Isaiah 8:14, where the Messiah is described as a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both houses of Israel. because of Jesus’ message Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Divisive Nature of TruthJesus' message inherently divides because it challenges existing beliefs and calls for a decision. Believers must be prepared for opposition when standing for biblical truth. The Cost of Discipleship Following Jesus may lead to division even among family and friends. Believers are called to prioritize their relationship with Christ above all else. Discernment in Division Not all division is negative. Sometimes, it is necessary to separate from false teachings or practices that contradict the Gospel. Unity in Christ While Jesus' message can cause division, it also unites believers in truth. Christians are called to seek unity in the essentials of faith while allowing for diversity in non-essentials.(19) There was a division therefore again . . .--The words carry us back to those of John 9:16, where a like division was noted. Among the Jews.--The Pharisees are mentioned before, and they are the persons who have been present all through this discourse. (Comp. John 9:40.) The wider word is here, and in John 9:18, applied to them. They were identifying themselves with, and becoming leaders of, the party who were the enemies of Christ. (Comp. Note on John 1:19.) Verses 19-21. -(b) The twofold effect of this declaration. Verses 19, 20. - There arose a division again among the Jews because of these words. And many of them were saying, He hath a daemon, and is mad; why hear ye him? The division among the Jews had repeatedly taken place. In John 7:12, 30, 31, 40, 41, and John 9:8, 9, 16, we see different stages of the hostility and different aspects of opinion. They reached a similar point of expression in John 7:20; John 8:48. With bitter madness the Pharisees charged the Lord with being under the power of a "daemon," and with consequent raving, i.e. with irrationality and even evil motive. By this means "the Jews" sought to dissuade the people from any attention to such λόγους (sermones, Vulgate), discourses. They would not have done this if the impression on some had not been conspicuous and overpowering. "Why hear ye him?" This was not the first time such division had occurred, and hence the πάλιν, again (see notes, John 8:48). Some were listening with eager, bewildering excitement. They knew not what to think. Their nascent faith is rebuked by the authorities.
