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. The question of the resurrection of the body was important in Greek philosophy (cf. 1 Corinthians 15). Luke used this incident in his narrative to bring Jesus’ confrontations with His critics in the temple courtyard to a climax. read more
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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 20:1-47
Various Incidents of the Last Week1-8. The authority of Jesus challenged (Matthew 21:23; Mark 11:27). See on Mt.9-18. The wicked husbandmen (Matthew 21:33; Mark 12:1). See on Mt.19-26. The tribute money (Matthew 22:15; Mark 12:13). See on Mt.27-40. The Sadducees and the Resurrection (Matthew 22, 23; Mark 12:18). See on Mt.36. Neither can they die] This is perhaps given as a reason why after the Resurrection there is no more marriage.37. At the bush] RV ’in the place concerning the Bush’: cp.... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 20:36
(36) Neither can they die any more.—The record of this teaching is peculiar to St. Luke. The implied thought is that death and marriage are correlative facts in God’s government of the world, the one filling up the gaps which are caused by the other. In the life eternal there is no need for an addition in this way to the number of the elect, and therefore there is no provision for it.Equal unto the angels.—The one Greek word which answers to the English four is again peculiar to St. Luke.The... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 20:1-47
By What Authority? Luke 20:2 I. The Principle of Reservation. God reserves to Himself the right to restrain when He sees fit that full manifestation of Himself which some men nevertheless demand of Him. There are some men, some women, in whose heart there has frequently risen up something of this resentment: 'Why must I live in a state of imperfect knowledge, which is the result of a limited revelation?' And this incomplete manifestation of Himself by God for so I may call it has been felt,... read more

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
