Matthew 22:2 . The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king which made a marriage for his son.

What happier emblems could wisdom devise to attract mankind to devotion and joy, than the figures employed in this... read more

31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, Ver. 31. Have ye not read ] In Moses, whose writings only they received, rejecting the rest. And the superstitious Jews at this day are said in their liturgy to read two lessons, one out of the law, which is read by some chief person, another out of the prophets, which is read by some boy or mean companion.

First, they bring up the HERODIANS, who retire from the encounter silenced, Matthew 22:16-22. Then come up the SADDUCEES, who retire in similar defeat, Matthew 22:23-33. Then from a group of the... read more
