  14. Blasphemy of the Spirit • Matthew 12:31-32 • Cf. Mark 3:28-29, Luke 12:10 • Blasphemy - An indignity offered to God in words, writing, or signs; impiously irreverent words or signs addressed to, or used in reference to, God; speaking evil of God; also, the act of claiming the attributes or prerogatives of deity. Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1913 • Must understand the context. • V. 22-37 • V. 23 – masses made the right inference • V.24 – the hypocritical Pharisees did not.

  15. Blasphemy of the Spirit V. 25-26 Jesus shows the absurdity of their argument. V. 27-28 He applies their argument to their disciples, who claim to cast out demons. V. 29 Jesus has opposed and overcome Satan. V. 30 The Pharisees were opposing Jesus who was opposing Satan. They were in league with Satan.

  16. Blasphemy of the Spirit • V. 31-32 blasphemy against the Son of Man • Barnes’ Notes on the Bible, Matthew 12:31-32 “The Jews were offended at the humble life and appearance of the Saviour. They reproached him as being a Nazarene--sprung from Nazareth, a place from which no good was expected to proceed; with being a Galilean, from Galilee, a place from which no prophet came, John 7:52. Jesus says that reproaches of this kind could be pardoned. Reflections on his poverty, his humble birth, and the lowliness of his human nature, might be forgiven.”

  17. Blasphemy of the Spirit • V. 31-32 blasphemy against the Spirit • Attributing the miracles Jesus worked to the power of the Devil rather than the power of God. • With the heart in this condition, one will never avail themselves of the only means to be with the Father. Cf. John 14:6, Acts 4:12 • V. 33 If casting out demons is good, then Jesus is good. He turns the charges against them. • V. 34-37 Jesus shows the condition of their hearts.
