There arose a division again ( schisma palin egeneto ).

As in Joh 7:43 in the crowd (also in Joh 7:12, Joh 7:31), so now among the hostile Jews (Pharisees) some of whom had previously professed belief in him (Joh 8:31). The direct reference of palin (again) may be to Joh 9:16 when the Pharisees were divided over the problem of the blind man. Division of opinion about Jesus is a common thing in John’ s Gospel (Joh 6:52, Joh 6:60, Joh 6:66; Joh 7:12, Joh 7:25.; Joh 8:22; Joh 9:16.; Joh 10:19, Joh 10:24, Joh 10:41; Joh 11:41.; Joh 12:19, Joh 12:29, Joh 12:42; Joh 16:18.).

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.

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.

Clarke: Joh 10:19 - -- There was a division - Σχισμα, a schism, a rent. They were divided in their opinions; one part received the light, and the other resisted it

There was a division - Σχισμα, a schism, a rent. They were divided in their opinions; one part received the light, and the other resisted it

Clarke: Joh 10:19 - -- Again - There was a dissension of this kind before among the same people; see Joh 9:16.

Again - There was a dissension of this kind before among the same people; see Joh 9:16.

19.A division therefore arose again The advantage gained by Christ’s discourse was, that it procured him some disciples; but as his doctrine has also many adversaries, hence arises a division, so that they are split into parties, who formerly appeared to be one body of the Church. for all, with one consent, professed that they worshipped the God of Abraham and complied with the Law of Moses; but now, when Christ comes forward, they begin to differ on his account. If that profession had been sincere, Christ, who is the strongest bond of charity, and whose office it is to gather those things which are scattered, would not break up their agreement. But Christ, by the light of his Gospel, exposes the hypocrisy of many who, while they had nothing but a false and hypocritical pretense, boasted that they were the people of God.

Thus, the wickedness of many is still the reason why the Church is troubled by divisions, and why contentions are kindled. Yet those who disturb the peace, throw the blame on us, and call us Schismatics; for the principal charge which the Papists bring against us is, that our doctrine has shaken the tranquillity of the Church. Yet the truth is, that, if they would yield submissively to Christ, and give their support to the truth, all the commotions would immediately be allayed. But when they utter murmurs and complaints against Christ, and will not allow us to be at rest on any other condition than that the truth of God shall be extinguished, and that Christ shall be banished from his kingdom, they have no right to accuse us of the crime of schism; for it is on themselves, as every person sees, that this crime ought to be charged. We ought to be deeply grieved that the Church is torn by divisions arising among those who profess the same religion; but it is better that there are some who separate themselves from the wicked, to be united to Christ their Head, than that all should be of one mind in despising God. Consequently, when schisms arise, we ought to inquire who they are that revolt from God and from his pure doctrine.

Christ by his words often caused a division amongst the Jews, so as they could not agree in their sentiments and censures about him; which was either caused through the mixture amongst them of such as truly believed with those who believed not; or else from the mixture of a more considering part amongst them with others who were more brutish, irrational, and full of passion. We met with much the same, Joh 7:43 , and again, Joh 9:16 . It is one method of God’ s providence for the deliverance of his servants from unreasonable men, to cause divisions among them, so as they cannot agree among themselves.

Gill: Joh 10:19 - -- There was a division therefore again among the Jews,.... As there had been before; see Joh 7:12. For these sayings; concerning his being the good s...

There was a division therefore again among the Jews,.... As there had been before; see Joh 7:12.

For these sayings; concerning his being the good shepherd, and laying down his life for the sheep, and having both a power to lay it down, and take it up again.
