| There was a division . . . again among the Jews for these sayings--the light and the darkness revealing themselves with increasing clearness in the separation of the teachable from the obstinately prejudiced. The one saw in Him only "a devil and a madman"; the other revolted at the thought that such words could come from one possessed, and sight be given to the blind by a demoniac; showing clearly that a deeper impression had been made upon them than their words expressed. |

There was a division (σχίσμα ἐγένετο)
Rev., more correctly, there arose. The word σχίσμα, division, from σχίζω, to cleave, describes a fact which continually recurs in John's narrative. See Joh 6:52, Joh 6:60, Joh 6:66; Joh 7:12, Joh 7:25 sqq.; Joh 8:22; Joh 9:16, Joh 9:17; Joh 10:19, Joh 10:24, Joh 10:41; Joh 11:37 sqq.; Joh 12:19, Joh 12:29, Joh 12:42; Joh 16:18, Joh 16:19.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
