But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
“But others” defended Him. There is a minority that have been touched by what Jesus has been saying. Truth has penetrated their hearts to one extent or another and they come to his defense by making two points:
- Demons wouldn’t say the things He says.
- Demons wouldn’t do the things He does.
Perhaps the most encouraging thing here is that it seems that the words of Christ have had a greater impact on their hearts than even His miracles.
