Luke 12:10

10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

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 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

9 but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

10 And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say.
