Greek Commentary for Luke 11:15
See note on Matthew 9:32. [source]
Blasphemous accusation here in Judea as in Galilee (Mark 3:22; Matthew 12:24, Matthew 12:27). See notes on Matthew for discussion of the form of this name and the various items in the sin against the Holy Spirit involved in the charge. It was useless to deny the fact of the miracles. So they were explained as wrought by Satan himself, a most absurd explanation. [source]
See on Matthew 10:25. [source]

Jesus here repeats in indirect discourse (accusative and infinitive) the charge made against him in Luke 11:15. The condition is of the first class, determined as fulfilled. [source]
This unpardonable sin is given by Mark 3:28.; Matthew 12:31. immediately after the charge that Jesus was in league with Beelzebub. Luke here separates it from the same charge made in Judea (Luke 11:15-20). As frequently said, there is no sound reason for saying that Jesus only spoke his memorable sayings once. Luke apparently finds a different environment here. Note the use of εις eis here in the sense of “against.” [source]
Genitive absolute, “while all the people were listening” (present active participle). That is the time to speak. The details in this verse and Luke 20:47 are precisely those given in Mark 12:38., which see notes for discussion of details. Matthew 23:1-39 has a very full and rich description of this last phase of the debate in the temple where Jesus drew a full-length portrait of the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and scribes in their presence. It was a solemn climax to this last public appearance of Christ in the temple when Jesus poured out the vials of his indignation as he had done before (Matthew 16:2; Luke 11:12, Luke 11:15-18).
