Marcos 3

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

22 And *ch. 7:1;Matt. 15:1the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, *Matt. 9:34;12:24;Luke 11:15;[Matt. 10:25]; See John 7:20"He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "by the prince of demons he casts out the demons." 23 *For ver. 23-27, see Matt. 12:25-29;Luke 11:17-22And he called them to him and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.27 But *Isa. 49:24no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. *[Isa. 53:12]Then indeed he may plunder his house.

28 *For ver. 28-30, see Matt. 12:31,32;[Luke 12:10;Heb. 6:4-6;10:26;1 John 5:16]"Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter,29 but whoever *[Acts 7:51;Heb. 10:29]blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"— 30 for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
