Luke 12:10

10 et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis remittetur illi ei autem qui in Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit non remittetur

Luke 12:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:10

And whosoever shall speak a word against the son of man,
it shall be forgiven him
These words, though introduced by Luke among the sayings of Christ, recorded in Matt. 10 yet were said by Christ, on occasion of the Pharisees, ascribing his works to diabolical influence and assistance, (See Gill on Matthew 12:32)

but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost;
as the Pharisees did, by charging the miracles of Christ with being done by the help of the devil, when they were wrought by the finger of the Spirit:

it shall not be forgiven.
The Ethiopic version adds at the close of this verse, as in Matthew, "neither in this world, nor in that which is to come".

Luke 12:10 In-Context

8 dico autem vobis omnis quicumque confessus fuerit in me coram hominibus et Filius hominis confitebitur in illo coram angelis Dei

9 qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus denegabitur coram angelis Dei

10 et omnis qui dicit verbum in Filium hominis remittetur illi ei autem qui in Spiritum Sanctum blasphemaverit non remittetur

11 cum autem inducent vos in synagogas et ad magistratus et potestates nolite solliciti esse qualiter aut quid respondeatis aut quid dicatis

12 Spiritus enim Sanctus docebit vos in ipsa hora quae oporteat dicere
