You have a demon; I do not have a demon
The Jews answered, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father.”
Those who blaspheme the Word call him Samaritan and demon-possessed; but the one who honors the Father does not have a demon.
Greek
Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου.
Οἱ βλασφημοῦντες τὸν λόγον Σαμαρίτην καὶ δαιμονῶντα καλοῦσιν· ὁ δὲ τιμῶν τὸν πατέρα δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχει.
