Matthew 9:3

James Moffatt - New Testament

Some scribes said to themselves, "The man is talking blasphemy!"

See the chapter Copy

Then the high priest tore his dress and cried, "He has blasphemed! What more evidence do we want? Look, you have heard his blasphemy for yourselves!

Then the scribes and Pharisees began to argue, "Who is this blasphemer? Who can forgive sins, who but God alone?"

You have heard his blasphemy for yourselves. What is your mind?" They condemned him, all of them, to the doom of death;

From within, from the heart of man, the designs of evil come: sexual vice, stealing, murder,

for he taught them like an authority, not like their own scribes.

I tell you truly, the sons of men shall be forgiven all their sins, and all the blasphemies they may utter,

but whoever blasphemes against the holy Spirit is never forgiven, he is guilty of an eternal sin."
