Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 20:27-38

This discourse with the Sadducees we had before, just as it is here, only that the description Christ gives of the future state is somewhat more full and large here. Observe here, I. In every age there have been men of corrupt minds, that have endeavoured to subvert the fundamental principles of revealed religion. As there are deists now, who call themselves free-thinkers, but are really false-thinkers; so there were Sadducees in our Saviour's time, who bantered the doctrine of the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 20:27-40

20:27-40 Some of the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and asked him, "Teacher, Moses wrote to us that, if a man's married brother dies without leaving any children, his brother must take his wife and raise up descendants for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died childless. The second and the third also took her; and in the same way the whole seven left no children and died. Later the wife died, too. Whose wife will she be at... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 20:34

And Jesus answering, said unto them ,.... After he had observed that their error arose from ignorance of the Scriptures, and the power of God: the children of this world marry, and are given in marriage that is, such who live in this world, in the present mortal and imperfect state, being mortal men, and die, and leave their estates and possessions: these marry, and have wives given them in marriage; and it is very right, and fit, that so it should be, in order to keep up a succession of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 20:35

But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world ,.... The world to come, eternal life and happiness; not by their own works and merits, but through the blood, sacrifice, and righteousness of the Messiah; and the resurrection from the dead ; that is, the first resurrection, the resurrection unto life, which only the dead in Christ will enjoy; otherwise all will be raised: but some to the resurrection of damnation: these neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; there... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 20:36

Neither can they die any more ,.... Therefore there will be no need of marrying to procreate children, to keep up a succession of men, any more than there is among the angels: for they are equal unto the angels ; in spirituality, purity and immortality; See Gill on Matthew 22:30 . and are the children of God : as they are now by adopting grace; but, as yet, it does not appear as it will then, what they are and will be: being the children of the resurrection ; as Christ was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 20:20-40

Christ supreme in debate. We have seen in the last section how our Lord told a parable whose bearing was unmistakably against the Jewish rulers. They are determined, in consequence, to so entrap him in discussion as, if possible, to bring him within the grasp of the Roman governor. But in entering the doubtful field of debate with a base purpose such as this, it was, as the sequel shows, only to be vanquished. Jesus proves more than a match for the two batches of artful men who try to... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 20:27-38

Foundations of Christian hope. On what foundation do we build our hope for the future? Not now on any philosophical deductions; these, may have a certain measure of strength to some minds, but they are not firm enough to carry such a weight as the hope of immortality. We build on the Word that cannot be broken—on the promise of Jesus Christ. Our future depends upon the will of our Divine Creator, on the purpose of our God, and only he who came from God can tell us what that purpose is.... read more
