11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
11 And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God."
11 Evil spirits, when they recognized him, fell down and cried out, "You are the Son of God!"
11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."
11 And whenever those possessed by evil spirits caught sight of him, the spirits would throw them to the ground in front of him shrieking, "You are the Son of God!"
30 He said this because they were saying, "He has an impure spirit."
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
30 for they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
30 He gave this warning because they were accusing him of being in league with Evil.
30 because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."
30 He told them this because they were saying, "He's possessed by an evil spirit."
(Read Mark 3:22-30)
It was plain that the doctrine of Christ had a direct tendency to break the devil's power; and it was as plain, that casting of him out of the bodies of people, confirmed that doctrine; therefore Satan could not support such a design. Christ gave an awful warning against speaking such dangerous words. It is true the gospel promises, because Christ has purchased, forgiveness for the greatest sins and sinners; but by this sin, they would oppose the gifts of the Holy Ghost after Christ's ascension. Such is the enmity of the heart, that unconverted men pretend believers are doing Satan's work, when sinners are brought to repentance and newness of life.

Commentary on Mark 3:6-12
(Read Mark 3:6-12)
All our sicknesses and calamities spring from the anger of God against our sins. Their removal, or the making them blessings to us, was purchased to us by the blood of Christ. But the plagues and diseases of our souls, of our hearts, are chiefly to be dreaded; and He can heal them also by a word. May more and more press to Christ to be healed of these plagues, and to be delivered from the enemies of their souls.
