{Blaspheme} (lasph(886d)ousin). Present active indicative of
common verb lasph(886d)e(935c) (from lasph(886d)os, speaking evil,
lax or lapt(935c) and ph(886d)(885c)), as in Lu 22:65 . {The
honourable name} ( o kalon onoma). "The beautiful name." {By
the which ye were called} ( o epikl(8874)hen eph' hum(8373)). "The one
called upon you" (first aorist passive articular participle of
epikale(935c), to put a name upon, to give a surname to, as Ac
10:18 ). What name is that? Almost certainly the name of Christ
as we see it in Ac 11:26 26:28 1Pe 4:14,16 . It was blasphemy
to speak against Christ as some Jews and Gentiles were doing ( Ac
13:45 18:6 26:11 1Co 12:3 1Ti 1:13 ). Cf. Ac 15:17 .
