29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin."
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--
29 But if you persist in your slanders against God's Holy Spirit, you are repudiating the very One who forgives, sawing off the branch on which you're sitting, severing by your own perversity all connection with the One who forgives."
29 but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--
29 but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. This is a sin with eternal consequences."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 3:29
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.
