28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,
28 "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter,
28 "Listen to this carefully. I'm warning you. There's nothing done or said that can't be forgiven.
28 "Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;
28 "I tell you the truth, all sin and blasphemy can be forgiven,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 3:28
Commentary on Mark 3:22-30
(Read Mark 3:22-30)
It was plain that the doctrine of Christ had a direct tendency to break the devil's power; and it was as plain, that casting of him out of the bodies of people, confirmed that doctrine; therefore Satan could not support such a design. Christ gave an awful warning against speaking such dangerous words. It is true the gospel promises, because Christ has purchased, forgiveness for the greatest sins and sinners; but by this sin, they would oppose the gifts of the Holy Ghost after Christ's ascension. Such is the enmity of the heart, that unconverted men pretend believers are doing Satan's work, when sinners are brought to repentance and newness of life.
