Contextual Overview

¹At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, "Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; ²and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known; ³because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops. ⁴And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do; ⁵but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. ⁶Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God, ⁷but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows. ⁸And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God, ⁹and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God, ¹⁰and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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, :-

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".
