Mark 3:28 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 3:28

Verily I say unto you
The Scribes and Pharisees, who had not only blasphemed him, but the Spirit of God also:

all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies
wherewith soever they shall blaspheme;
God; or the Son of God, angels, and men, and that through the blood of Christ, and when brought to a sense of the evil of them; for though pardon is procured before, it is not applied till then; (See Gill on Matthew 12:31).

Mark 3:28 In-Context

26 And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished!
27 "On the other hand, no one can enter a strong man's house and rob his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he will rob his house.
28 I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme.
29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" -
30 because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
