John 8:49 Douay-Rheims

Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.

Adam Clarke

1762–1832 Methodist

I have not a devil - The first part of the charge was too futile: if taken literally, it was both absurd and impossible; they did not believe it themselves, and therefore our Lord does not stop a moment to refute it; but he answers to the second with the utmost meekness and conclusiveness: I honor God. This is what no demon can do, nor any man who is under such influence.
