John 8:48 Douay-Rheims

The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

(tom. xx. s. 28.) Our Lord, even more than Paul, wished to become all things to all men, that He might gain some: and therefore He did not deny being a Samaritan. (s. 29.). I have not a devil, is what Jesus alone can say; as He alone can say, The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. (c. 14:30). None of us are quite free from having a devil. For even lesser faults come from him.
