Mark 12:13-27

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:24

Sorces of heresy. I. PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF RELIGIOUS ERROR . 1 . I gnorance of Holy Scripture. 2 . Lack of spiritual experience. "Nor the power of God." This ignorance may consist partly in ignorance of the facts of the Divine history of mankind as recorded in Scripture; but it is chiefly due to absence of personal, experimental consciousness of God in the spiritual nature. It is the " darkness of the heart" which exaggerates and intensifies the effects of general... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:25

But are as angels in heaven —not "the angels;" the οἱ is omitted. The blessed, after the resurrection, will be like angels as to purity, as to a spiritual life, as to immortality, as to happiness and glory. There will be no necessity for marriages in heaven. Here, on earth, the father dies, but he lives on in his children after death. In heaven there is no death, but every one will live and be blessed for ever; and therefore it is that St. Luke adds here, "Neither can they die any more."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:26

St. Mark is here careful to state that what St. Matthew describes as "the word spoken by God" was to be found in the book of Moses ( Exodus 3:5 ), in the place concerning the Bush ( ἐπὶ τῆς βάτου ), as it is correctly rendered in the Revised Version. Our Lord might have brought yet clearer proofs out of Job, Daniel, Ezekiel, etc.; but in his wisdom he preferred to allege this out of Moses and the Pentateuch, because, whatever the views of the Sadducees may have been as to other... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:27

Ye therefore do greatly err . The Greek is, omitting the οὖν , simply ὑμεῖς πολὺ πλανᾶσθε , Ye greatly err. The omission is more consistent with St. Mark's usual style. The Sadducees entirely misunderstood the meaning of their own Scriptures. read more

See this passage fully explained in the notes at Matthew 22:23-33.Mark 12:25Are as the angels - That is, as the angels in respect to connections and relations. What those connections and relations may be we know not, but this passage teaches that the special relation of “marriage” will not exist. It does not affirm, however, that there will be no recollection of former marriages, or no recognition of each other as having existed in this tender relation.Mark 12:26How in the bush - At the burning... read more

Mark 12:18-20. These verses are explained in the notes on Matthew 22:23-33. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living That is, (if the argument be proposed at length,) since the character of his being the God of any persons, plainly intimates a relation to them, not as dead, but as living; and since he cannot be said to be at present their God at all, if they are utterly dead; nor to be the God of human persons, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, consisting of souls and bodies, if... read more

125. A question about paying taxes (Matthew 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17; Luke 20:19-26)The Herodians were a group of Jews who, unlike most Jews, were favourable to the rule of the Herods and therefore (indirectly) to the rule of Rome. Normally, they had little in common with the Pharisees, but the two groups were willing to cooperate in an attempt to trap Jesus. They asked him was it lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Rome (Matthew 22:15-17; Luke 20:19-22).If Jesus replied ‘Yes’, the Pharisees would... read more

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
