Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(30) Because they said.--This, it will be noted, is peculiar to St. Mark. It is as though he would explain to his readers what it was that had called forth so awful a warning. He does not absolutely identify what had been said with the sin against the Holy Ghost, but it tended to that sin, and therefore made the warning necessary.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[ Jesus made this statement ] becauseὍτι (Hoti)ConjunctionStrong's 3754: Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because.they were claiming,ἔλεγον (elegon)Verb - Imperfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 2036: Answer, bid, bring word, command.
