9:32-34 What was the sin of the Pharisees here in what they said?

(cp also Lk 11:14-15). The Pharisees attributed the miracle of the demon being cast out of the dumb man by Jesus, enabling him to speak, to Satan, thus blaspheming the Holy Spirit, to whom they should have ascribed the miracle.

This is the only sin in God’s order for which there is no forgiveness (cp Mt 12:31-32; Mk 3:22-30; Lk 12:10). See also comments on Mt 12:31-32
