Context of Mark 3:29

27Nobody can easily go into the house of a strong man to rob him. To do that, he must first tie up the strong man. Then he can take away all that man's valuable things. 28I tell you this: God can forgive all the wrong things that people do. He can also forgive people who say bad things against him. But God will never forgive people who say bad things against the Holy Spirit. Those people will always be guilty of a terrible sin.’ 30Jesus said that to the teachers of God's Law, because they had said, ‘Jesus has a bad spirit in him.’ 31Then, Jesus' mother and his brothers arrived and they stood outside the house. They sent someone into the house with a message. They wanted Jesus to come out to speak to them.
