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 ,....

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 20:38

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living ,.... See Gill on Matthew 22:32 . for all live unto him . The Persic version, reads, "all these live unto him"; namely, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for though they are dead to men, they are not to God; their souls live with him, and their bodies will be raised by him: he reckons of them, as if they were now alive, for he quickens the dead, and calls things that are not, as though they were; and this is the case of all the saints that... read more

Then certain of the Scribes, answering said ,.... Who believed the doctrine of the resurrection, which the Sadducees denied, and so were pleased with our Lord's reasoning on this subject: master, thou hast well said ; thou hast spoken in a beautiful manner, reasoned finely upon this head, and set this matter in a fair and clear light; See Gill on Mark 12:28 read more
