John8:48
48 Then answered the Jews, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan , and hast a Devil ?
A Samaritan signified to the Iews as much as an Imposter, or Saducer, for the Iews looked upon the Samaritans as a detestable sort of men, who had corrupted the Worship of God with their horrible Superstitions in Mount Gerizzim.
And hast a Devil: that is, art mad. (See the Notes on Chap. 7.20.)
Marginal references: Chap. 10 20.
