Jesus Accused of being Demon-Possessed and Raving MadMatthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons. Matthew 10:25 . . . If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul . . . Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons. Mark 3:21 When his friends heard it, they went out to seize him: for they said, He is insane. Mark 3:22 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, He has Beelzebul, and, By the prince of the demons he casts out the demons. Mark 3:30 because they said, He has an unclean spirit. Luke 11:15 But some of them said, He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons. . . . John 7:20 The multitude answered, You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you? John 8:48 Then the Jews answered him, Dont we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon? John 8:52 Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death. John 10:20-21 Many of them said, He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him? Others said, These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isnt possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?
Note how the second half of the last quote seems to indicate that some genuinely believed Jesus was demon-possessed and is insane.
