Mateus 12

Mateus 12:31

Therefore, no matter what they say in blasphemy—even against the Son of Man when they were scandalized under the economy of law according to the flesh, as I pointed out—our Lord makes it clear they will be forgiven on the excuse of their ignorance of the mystery, his self-abasement and humility shown as a man. That is why Jesus said, "It will be forgiven humans" and did not say "you." What he was saying in effect was "It is to those who do not know the depth of my dispensation that I offer forgiveness." But in their blasphemy they heaped insults against the divine signs he manifested and the many miracles he worked through the Spirit who was in him and who is of the same essence (ousia). They exclaimed, "He casts out demons by the prince of demons." Those insults—since they smack of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and (because of the facts themselves) what is proper of God, with no room for excuse—Christ says they shall not be forgiven. They could not use ignorance as a pretext for their defense. — CATHEDRAL SERMONS, HOMILY 98.32
