George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:24

Raise up issue to his brother, to be heirs of his name and of his effects, as we read in Ruth, chap. iv, ver. 10: suscitare nomen defuncti, &c. to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance, lest his name be cut off from among his family, and his brethren, and his people.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:29

You err. The Sadducees erred in supposing that there would be no resurrection, or if there was, that the future state would be like the present. Unable to conceive any thing else, they thought themselves justified in concluding that the soul would not survive the body. Had they known the Scriptures, they would not have fallen into this error; since therein are found abundant testimonies of a resurrection, as Job xiv and xix, Isaias xxvi, Ezechiel xxxvii, Daniel xii. The power of God also, had... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:30

As the angels. Not in every respect, for the body shall be likewise raised with the soul, whilst the angels are pure spirits: but in this we shall be like unto angels, we shall be endowed with immortality, and impassibility; and our joys, like those of the angels, shall be wholly spiritual. (Jansenius) --- If not to marry, nor to be married, be like unto angels, the state of religious persons, and of priests, is justly styled by the Fathers an angelic life. (St. Cyprian, lib. ii. de discip. et... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:23-33

23-33 The doctrines of Christ displeased the infidel Sadducees, as well as the Pharisees and Herodians. He carried the great truths of the resurrection and a future state, further than they had yet been reveled. There is no arguing from the state of things in this world, as to what will take place hereafter. Let truth be set in a clear light, and it appears in full strength. Having thus silenced them, our Lord proceeded to show the truth of the doctrine of the resurrection from the books of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 22:1-99

Matthew 22 BUT THE LORD calmly pursued what He had to say to them, so in the opening of this chapter we have the parable of the marriage of the king’s son, which predicts the Gospel day which was about to dawn. There is no question, “What think ye?” about this parable, for it travels beyond men’s thoughts altogether. It is also distinguished from the other two parables by beginning, “The kingdom of heaven is like,” or, more literally, “has become like.” Men come under Heaven’s jurisdiction by... read more

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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:29-30

Christ's answer: v. 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. v. 30. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. In an entirely dispassionate way, but with crushing emphasis, Jesus gives them His answer: Ye are altogether wrong, and that because ye know neither the plain facts of Scripture nor the power of God. According to the first, they should have known that the... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:31-33

Proof for the resurrection: v. 31. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, v. 32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. v. 33. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine. A bit of Bible explanation, which is as irrefutable as it is surprising. Christ's manner implies a censure of their reading the books of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 22:23-33

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
