The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:23-28

The Question of the Sadducees. v. 23. The same day came to Him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked Him, v. 24. saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. v. 25. Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother; v. 26. likewise the second also, and the third, unto the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:29-30

Christ's answer: v. 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. v. 30. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. In an entirely dispassionate way, but with crushing emphasis, Jesus gives them His answer: Ye are altogether wrong, and that because ye know neither the plain facts of Scripture nor the power of God. According to the first, they should have known that the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:31-33

Proof for the resurrection: v. 31. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, v. 32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. v. 33. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at His doctrine. A bit of Bible explanation, which is as irrefutable as it is surprising. Christ's manner implies a censure of their reading the books of... read more

The Silencing of the Pharisees. Information asked and given: v. 34. But when the Pharisees had heard that He had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. v. 35. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying, v. 36. Master, which is the great commandment in the Law? v. 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. v. 38. This is the first and great... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:41-42

The counter question of Jesus: v. 41. While the Pharisees were gathered together Jesus asked them, v. 42. saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose son is He? They say unto Him, The Son of David. The attack of the Pharisees had failed; their very spokesman had been obliged to admit the truth of Christ's answer, Mark 12:32-Micah :. But now Christ turns to the attack by proposing a question which would impale His adversaries on the horns of a real dilemma. His question concerns the sonship of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 22:43-46

Driving home the conclusion: v. 43. He saith unto them, How, then, doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, v. 44. The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool? v. 45. If David, then, call Him Lord, how is He his Son? v. 46. And no man was able to answer Him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions. That the Messiah was to be an offspring of David is stated so often in the Old Testament that every... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 22:34-46

Matthew THE TABLES TURNED: THE QUESTIONERS QUESTIONED Mat_22:34 . Herodians, Sadducees, Pharisees, who were at daggers drawn with each other, patched up an alliance against Jesus, whom they all hated. Their questions were cunningly contrived to entangle Him in the cobwebs of casuistry and theological hair-splitting, but He walked through the fine-spun snares as a lion might stalk away with the nooses set for him dangling behind him. The last of the three questions put to Jesus, and the one... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 22:23-33

the Scriptures Teach the Resurrection Matthew 22:23-33 The Sadducees professed themselves to be bound by the Pentateuch, and to have searched in vain for evidences of a life beyond. They were greatly startled, therefore, when our Lord proved human immortality from the book of Exodus. He had never passed through their schools and sat at the feet of their great teachers, but He showed them that “at the Bush” the voice of God attested eternal life. The great I AM would never have spoken of... read more
