Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 20:27-40

126. Marriage and the resurrection (Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40)Next a group of Sadducees came to Jesus with a question. According to the law of Moses, if a man died childless, his brother was to have a temporary marital relationship with the widow for the purpose of producing an heir (Deuteronomy 25:5-6). The question put by the Sadducees concerned an unlikely situation where a widow would meet seven husbands, all brothers, in the resurrection. Since Sadducees did not... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 20:27-40

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.

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 20:34-36

Jesus contrasted the present age with the kingdom age. People resurrected to live in the kingdom, sons or products of the resurrection (Luke 20:36), will not marry (as men do) nor be given in marriage (as women are). They will be immortal, as the angels.Like the angels they will also be "sons of God," a common designation for the angels in the Old Testament (cf. Job 1:6; Job 2:1; et al.). This title stresses the God-like characteristic of the angels and the resurrected saints that is in view,... read more
