The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:23-28

The Question of the Sadducees. v. 23. The same day came to Him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked Him, v. 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. v. 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; v. 26. likewise the second also, and the third, unto the... read more

C. The Attack of the Sadducees, and the Victory of the Lord. Matthew 22:23-33(Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40.)23The same day came to him the20 Sadducees, which [who] say that there is no resur- rection, and asked him, 24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25Now there were with us seven brethren [brothers]: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue,21 left his wife unto... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 22:23-33

the Scriptures Teach the Resurrection Matthew 22:23-33 The Sadducees professed themselves to be bound by the Pentateuch, and to have searched in vain for evidences of a life beyond. They were greatly startled, therefore, when our Lord proved human immortality from the book of Exodus. He had never passed through their schools and sat at the feet of their great teachers, but He showed them that “at the Bush” the voice of God attested eternal life. The great I AM would never have spoken of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 22:1-46

The first two parables contained the history of the Hebrew nation up to the slaying of the Son. This one is prophetic. It presents the sin of this people in the light of the day of grace. The King sends His messengers first "to call them that were bidden." "They would not come." A second appeal is made-the mission of the Holy Spirit through the apostles. Of this the people made light. Each went to the material interest of the moment, his farm, his merchandise. The only attention they paid to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:1-46

The Question Of Jesus’ Authority (21:37-22:46). While, as we have seen above, the section from Matthew 19:3 to Matthew 22:46 forms a complete section in itself, enclosed within a dissertation on true leadership (Matthew 21:18) and a dissertation on false leadership (Matthew 21:23), this sub-section on authority also forms a unit. It commences with a challenge by the leadership concerning His authority (Matthew 21:23-27) and finishes with a challenge by Jesus concerning His authority (Matthew... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:23

‘On that day there came to him Sadducees, those who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him,’ Note the emphasis that it was ‘on the same day’. Thus the Pharisees, the Herodians and the Sadducees all approached Him to test Him on that day. All were out to bring Him down. We know little about the Sadducees for everything written about them was written by their opponents and therefore unreliable. But Matthew tells us that they did not believe in the resurrection. Josephus amplifies... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:23-33

Jesus Confirms The Truth About The Resurrection And The Secondary Nature of Marriage (22:23-33). Jesus was now faced with the Sadducees. The Sadducees were mainly of the ruling parties and included the Chief Priests, and many of the aristocratic Elders. But here the ones who were sent were probably deliberately chosen from among those who had previously been ‘con-combative’. As with the approach of ‘the disciples of the Pharisees’ it was an attempt to challenge Him at another level. Their... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:24

‘Saying, “Teacher, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.” The Sadducees began by briefly outlining the law. Strictly the law said ‘a brother living in the same household’, but as the Book of Ruth demonstrates, it was sometimes applied on a wider basis. Note again the use of ‘Teacher’. They had earlier questioned His authority. Now they were pretending that they recognised His authority. There were no depths to which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:25-27

“Now there were with us seven brothers, and the first married and deceased, and having no seed left his wife to his brother, in like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh, and after them all, the woman died.” They then laid out the case where seven brothers died childless one after the other, each taking on the same wife in order to produce children for their brothers, after which the woman also died. Note the sad emphasis on a hopeless death. There was no resurrection here, not... read more

Matthew 22:23-Micah : . The Question of the Resurrection Life ( Mark 12:18-Daniel : *, Luke 20:27-Matthew :).— Mt.’ s changes are mostly in the direction of simplicity. As regards the question of the Sadducees, while Leviticus 18:16; Leviticus 20:21 forbid marriage with a dead brother’ s wife, Deuteronomy 25:5-2 Samuel : enjoins it in certain circumstances. The answer of Jesus ( Matthew 22:29 ff.) to their attempt to argue against resurrection by an imaginary complication of this kind is... read more
