John 8:49

I have not a devil. Jesus passes by the charge, “Thou art a Samaritan,” perhaps because it was not worthy of being noticed. To be a Samaritan was in actuality no dishonor; with God there is no respect of persons (Rom. 2:1 1). “There is neither Jew nor Greek” (Gal. 3:28), “but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him” (Acts 10:35). In parable from Jesus later represented a Samaritan as a type of neighborly love (Luke 10:33-37). He also noted that of the ten lepers who were cleansed, the one who returned to give thanks was a Samaritan (Luke 17:16). See on Matt. 12:22-30.

The charge that He had a devil Jesus denied. He told the disputatious Jews that, instead, He was bringing honor to His Father, while they, in turn, were insulting Him.
