And many of them said, He has a devil, and is mad; why hear you him?

Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"
And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
He hath a devil, and is mad - So, then, a demoniac and a madman were not exactly the same in the apprehension of the Jews; no more than the effect is the same with the cause which produces it. Some will have it that, when the Jews told our Lord that he had a demon, they meant no more than that he was deranged; but here these matters are evidently distinguished. They believed him to be possessed by a demon, who deranged his faculties, and that he must have been a wicked man, and a deceiver, thus to be put under the power of such a spirit.
He hath a devil - John 7:20.
Is mad - Is deranged, or a maniac. His words are incoherent and unintelligible.
