‏ John 10:19

There arose a division again ( σχισμα παλιν εγενετο ). As in 7:43 in the crowd (also in 7:12, 31), so now among the hostile Jews (Pharisees) some of whom had previously professed belief in him (8:31). The direct reference of παλιν (again) may be to 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 (6:52, 60, 66; 7:12, 25ff.; 8:22; 9:16f.; 10:19, 24, 41; 11:41ff.; 12:19, 29, 42; 16:18f.).
