On verse 29, the key to understanding that verse 29 is found in verse 30.
Jesus is speaking to the Scribes (verse 22) who have just accused Jesus of casting out devils by Beelzebub (lord of the flies). Verse 23, all sins can be forgiven except blaspheme (against) the holy ghost. They (Scribes) said, he (Jesus) hath (Present tense) an unclean spirit. The scribes just accused Jesus to his face (who is the holy ghost) of being an unclean spirit. A person can only commit blaspheme in two ways.
1. Accuse Jesus to his face of having an unclean spirit (which is not possible);
2. Or rejection of the holy ghost (salvation) when it is available and offered to you ( II Corinthians 6:1-2). Hosanna = save us now!
