John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:24

24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Ver. 24. Master, Moses said ] They pretend Scripture; so did the devil, Matthew 4:1-11 . So do heretics all; Sed sensum afferunt non auferunt, but they fetch not the meaning from the Scripture, but fasten a sense (even that of their own devising) on the Scripture: Caedem Scripturarum faciunt ad materiam suam, saith Tertullian. They taw the text, as... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:25

25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Ver. 25. When he had married a wife, deceased ] Thus they that will marry shall have trouble, aye, and that in the flesh, wherein they haply promised themselves most comfort and contentment, How many are there that seek a happiness here; and when to enjoy it might seem a happiness indeed, they die, and then all their thoughts perish. Instances we... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:26

26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. Ver. 26. And the third unto the seventh ] Happy it was, if seeing their brethren fall so fast, themselves were warned to number their own days and provide for death’s coming. But this is not easily done; for we naturally dream of an immortality, Psalms 49:11 ; and it is death to us to think of death, though we see so many daily die before us. It fareth with us for the most part as with fatting cattle. The butcher comes today, and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:27

27 And last of all the woman died also. Ver. 27. And last of all the woman, &c. ] It is scarcely credible that one woman should outlive seven husbands. But grant she did, yet impartial death, that had so often times cut off her head, hit her heart at last. Death, as an archer, aiming at us, misseth us again, and hitteth haply some beyond us, some short of us, some on either hand of us; now our superiors, now our inferiors, now our equals, till at length we also are wounded; and the longer... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:29

28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. Ver. 29. Ye do err, not knowing ] Ignorance is a breeder. All sins are seminally in ignorance. St Paul thanks it for all his persecutions, 1 Timothy 1:13 . Aristotle makes it the mother of all the misrule in the world. (Ethic. 3.) All heresies, saith Chemnitius, are known to have proceeded, Vel ex... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:30

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Ver. 30. For in the resurrection they neither marry ] Therefore our condition then shall be better than that of Adam’s in Paradise, where he had need of a meet help, Chenegdo, such another as himself, a second self. St Luke adds the reason why men shall not marry in the resurrection, viz, they can die no more; and therefore need not marry for propagation of their kind and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 22:31

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, Ver. 31. Have ye not read ] In Moses, whose writings only they received, rejecting the rest. And the superstitious Jews at this day are said in their liturgy to read two lessons, one out of the law, which is read by some chief person, another out of the prophets, which is read by some boy or mean companion. For savouring somewhat of these old Sadducces, they will in no sort do... read more
