Mark 12:26 NIV

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 12:1-99

Mark 12 AS WE CLOSED Mark 11.0 we heard the leaders of the Jews plead ignorance. Whether John’s baptism was from heaven or of men they could not tell, and much less could they understand the work and service of the Lord. We open this chapter to see it plainly demonstrated that He perfectly knew and understood them. He knew their motives, their thoughts and the end to which they were heading. He revealed His knowledge of them in a striking parable. The first verse speaks of “parables,” and... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 12:24-27

The decisive answer of Jesus: v. 24. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Do ye not therefore err because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God? v. 25. For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels which are in heaven. v. 26. And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of... read more

4. The Attack of the Sadducees, and their Overthrow. Mark 12:18-27.(Parallels: Matthew 22:23-33; Luke 20:27-40.)18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 19Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave his7 wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20Now there were seven8 brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21And the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 12:1-27

Jesus Silences His Enemies Mark 12:1-27 Our Lord reviews the history of the theocracy. He recounts the long roll of God’s servants who had been persecuted and misused from the first to the last, including Himself. In doing so, He openly implied that He was the Son of God and made the Pharisees realize how clearly He foresaw the fate which they were preparing for Him. They were accustomed to apply Psalms 118:22 to the Messiah, and recognized at once what Jesus meant, when He claimed it as an... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 12:1-44

In this parable of the vineyard the Lord very graphically sketched for those people their own national history, and condemned them thereby. "They perceived that He spake the parable against them." These words would seem to intimate that the rejection of the Saviour by these rulers of the people was more a sin against light than we sometimes imagine. They had a clear comprehension of what He meant, but they set their hearts and wills against Him. A coalition of religion and politics, Pharisees... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 12:1-44

Jesus Begins His Final Journey to Jerusalem On The Road To The Cross and Spends Much Time in Teaching His Disciples And Disputing With His Enemies In Readiness For That Event, For He Is Giving His Life As A Ransom For Many (9:33-12:44). Having returned to Capernaum Jesus now has His face set towards Jerusalem, and in Mark 9:33-50 He will lay the foundation by pointing out the fact that all must look to and respond to His Name, and the dangers inherent in not doing so. Then He will advance into... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 12:13-44

Jesus Deals With The Final Challenges With Which The Jews Seek To Entrap Him (12:13-44). In this last part of Section 4 Jesus is faced with attempts to entrap and discredit Him. They come from various sources, the Pharisees and Herodians, the Sadducees, and a Scribe. In each case He emerges having confounded His adversaries. The picture is of Jesus against the establishment, because the establishment have all gone astray. Analysis. a The question of payment of tribute, and the need to give... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 12:18-27

A Second Direct Attempt to Discredit Jesus (12:18-27). It was now the turn of the Sadducees to approach Him. They knew that the crowds as a whole believed in the resurrection of the dead, following the teaching of the Pharisees. But the Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead (Mark 12:18). Their main emphasis was on the five books of Moses, the first five books of the Bible, and they claimed that there was no mention of the resurrection in them. While they did also almost... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 12:26

“But as touching the dead that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the place headed The Bush, how God spoke to him saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You do greatly err.” Having dealt briefly with the nature of the resurrection life Jesus then dealt with the matter at the heart of the controversy, the resurrection as indicated in the book of Moses. The essence of His argument was... read more

Mark 12:18-Daniel : . The Question of the Resurrection-Life.— The Pharisees having withdrawn in confusion, the Sadducees (mentioned here only in Mk., cf. pp. 619f., 624, 637) bring forward a scholastic problem designed to show that the strict carrying out of the Levirate law (p. 109, Deuteronomy 25:5-2 Samuel : *, Ruth 1:11-1 Chronicles : *) would produce an absurd situation in a future life, and therefore the Law does not contemplate a resurrection. Jesus answers that they have not... read more
