Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
This saying comes in the discourse that opens with the claim to be the light of the world, joined to the promise that whoever follows will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. In it Jesus rejects the charge of having a demon and declares instead that He honors His Father. The accusers who bring that charge are the Pharisees, and it is they who dishonor Him. Their dishonoring of Him lies in rejecting the truth He speaks from God and in refusing to recognize Him as the Son sent by the Father.
