Parallel passages: Matthew 22:23-33 ; Luke 20:27-40 .— Question of the Sadducees touching the resurrection. I. IMPORTANCE OF THE QUESTION . Though the question propounded in this section was proposed for a captious purpose, and in order to entangle, yet, divested of its technicalities, it is a most important one. There is no subject more closely connected with the immortal hopes of man than that to which the above section refers. The doctrine of the resurrection is implied,... read more

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

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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 12:18-27

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).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 12:24

Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?People who understand the Scriptures and who recognize the power of Almighty God do not reject the promise of a resurrection merely because they cannot understand exactly "how" such a thing may be. The infinite power of the Eternal would be no more extended in giving a person ANOTHER life than in the matter of giving him the PRESENT life.Ye know not the scriptures ... If they had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 12:24

Mark 12:24. Do ye not therefore err, &c.— Does not the error you are fallen into arise from your ignorance both of the Scriptures, and of the power of God? Heylin. This translation is rather paraphrastical: Wynne renders it more literally, Do ye not err on this account (namely) because ye knew not the Scriptures, nor, &c.? in St. Matthew, what is here expressed by a question, is delivered affirmatively: Ye do err. See Matthew 22:29. read more
