Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 20:27

And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, leaving a wife, and he be childless, his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless, and the second, and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died. Afterward the woman also died. In the... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 20:27

Luke had not identified the party affiliations of Jesus’ former critics as Matthew and Mark did. These Jewish parties would not have been of much interest to his original readers. However here he identified the Sadducees by name. He needed to do this because of their denial of the resurrection that was the central problem that they brought to Jesus. Most Greeks denied the resurrection of the body too (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:12). Much Greek psychology viewed the body as the temporary prison of the... read more

4. The problem of the resurrection 20:27-40 (cf. Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27)This incident was also relevant for Luke’s original Greek readers. The question of the resurrection of the body was important in Greek philosophy (cf. 1 Corinthians 15). Luke used this incident in his narrative to bring Jesus’ confrontations with His critics in the temple courtyard to a climax. read more

Various Incidents of the Last Week1-8. The authority of Jesus challenged (Matthew 21:23; Mark 11:27). See on Mt.9-18. The wicked husbandmen (Matthew 21:33; Mark 12:1). See on Mt.19-26.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 20:1-47

By What Authority? Luke 20:2 I. The Principle of Reservation. God reserves to Himself the right to restrain when He sees fit that full manifestation of Himself which some men nevertheless demand of Him. There are some men, some women, in whose heart there has frequently risen up something of this resentment: 'Why must I live in a state of imperfect knowledge, which is the result of a limited revelation?' And this incomplete manifestation of Himself by God for so I may call it has been felt,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 20:27-39

Chapter 23THE ESCHATOLOGY OF THE GOSPEL.COIFI, in his parable to the thanes and nobles of the North Humber country, likened the present life of man to the flight of a sparrow through one of their lighted halls, coming out of the night, and then disappearing in the dark winter whence it came; and he asked for Christianity a candid hearing, if perhaps she might tell the secrets of the beyond. And so indeed she does, lighting up the "dark winter" with a bright, though a partial apocalypse. It is... read more
