Mark 3:22-30

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

22 And ^athe scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, ^b“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 ^cAnd 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 ^dno one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. ^eThen indeed he may plunder his house.

28 ^f“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever ^gblasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
