Pretext for crucifixion
<blockquote>But whoever blasphemes against the [[Holy Spirit]] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 3:29)</blockquote> In context, this is considered to be attributing the works of God to [[Satan]]. The teachers of the law acknowledged that [[Jesus]] was curing people of evil spirits, but then accused [[Jesus]] of having the power to drive evil spirits out of people because He Himself was possessed by an evil spirit. (Mark 3:22)

A false accusation of blasphemy was the charge for which Jesus was ultimately [[crucifixion|crucified]]. Jesus spoke of Himself as the Son of God, which the [[Jew]]ish authorities, goaded by the [[Pharisee]]s, considered to be blasphemous and deserving of [[death]].
