Not by accident. The unpardonable sin is not done by accident. It is not a single act per se, but rather the outcome of a process of knowingly rejecting righteousness for a period determined by God. It is not done through the same kind of temptation, deception and weakness that ALL humans are susceptible to (1Corinthians 10:13).

During Jesus' first trial the charge of blasphemy against God was used by the Sanhedrin council to justify giving him a death sentence (Mark 14:61 - 64, Matthew 26:62 - 66).

First, let us look at the complete third commandment that discusses taking God's name in vain. There are two main ways most Bible translations handle the seventh verse of Exodus 20. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless . . . (Exodus 20:7, HBFV, which is similar to the KJV, NKJV and ...
He meant that for three whole days he would be dead and buried, a full seventy-two hours! Upon Jesus' crucifixion, the Jewish leaders who hated him remembered this sign (see Matthew 27). Many teachers of the Bible state that Jesus' crucifixion took place on Good Friday. They also state he was resurrected early on a Sunday morning.
The Sadducees and Pharisees are frequently mentioned in the New Testament, and we are there informed of the tenets of these two prevailing parties.
