The Greek word for "blasphemes" is "βλασφημέω" (blasphemeo), which means to speak evil or slander. In the biblical context, it refers to a deliberate and conscious act of speaking against God or sacred things. Historically, blasphemy was considered a severe offense in Jewish law, punishable by death (<a href="/leviticus/24-16.htm">Leviticus 24:16</a>). This sets the stage for understanding the seriousness of the act being described.against the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit, or "Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον" (Pneuma Hagion) in Greek, is the third person of the Trinity, co-equal with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit's role is to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (<a href="/john/16-8.htm">John 16:8</a>). To blaspheme against the Holy Spirit is to reject His work and testimony about Christ. This is not a mere slip of the tongue but a willful, persistent rejection of the truth He reveals. In the historical context of Mark, Jesus was addressing the Pharisees, who attributed His miracles, performed by the Spirit's power, to Satan.will never be forgiven The phrase "will never be forgiven" underscores the eternal consequence of this sin. The Greek word "ἀφίημι" (aphiemi) means to send away or forgive. The use of "never" (οὐ μή, ou mē) is a strong double negative in Greek, emphasizing the impossibility of forgiveness for this sin. This highlights the gravity of rejecting the Holy Spirit's testimony, as it is through the Spirit that one comes to faith and repentance.he is guilty of eternal sin The term "guilty" translates from the Greek "ἔνοχος" (enochos), meaning liable or subject to. The phrase "eternal sin" (αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος, aiōniou hamartēmatos) indicates a sin with everlasting consequences. In the conservative Christian perspective, this is understood as a state of hardened unbelief, where the heart is so resistant to the Spirit's work that it cannot repent. This is not about a single act but a settled disposition against God's redemptive work through the Spirit.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/mark/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(29) In danger of eternal damnation.--Better, eternal judgment, the Greek word not necessarily carrying with it the thoughts that now attach to the English. The best MSS., however, give, "in danger of an eternal sin"--i.e., of one which will, with its consequences, extend throughout the ages. It is, of course, more probable that a transcriber should have altered "sin" into "judgment," substituting an easier for a more difficult rendering, than the converse.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/mark/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 29. - Hath never forgiveness. Not that any sinner need despair of forgiveness through the fear that he may have committed this sin; for his repentance shows that his state of mind has never been one of entire enmity, and that he has not so grieved the Holy Spirit as to have been entirely forsaken by him. But is in danger of eternal damnation. The Greek words, according to the most approved reading, are ἀλλ ἔνοχός ἐστιν αἰωνίου ἁμαρτήματος: but is guilty of an eternal sin; thus showing that there are sins of which the effects and the punishment belong to eternity. He is bound by a chain or' sin from which he can never be loosed.
