“I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.

Jesus completely ignores the accusation of being a Samaritan (why?) and briefly states the truth about the other accusation. Note (1 Peter 2:23, Psalms 69:7-9). He goes on to point out that he honors His Father and they dishonor Jesus (which would also dishonor God).

1 Peter 2:23  When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Psalms 69:7-9  For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.  I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother’s sons;  for zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.

“honor” =  Greek word is timao =  to estimate or fix the value of something as very high and thus to revere or venerate.
