Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Mark 12:32.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

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


Geneva Study Bible

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.


People's New Testament

20:27-40 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees. For notes on the Sadducees silenced, see Mt 22:23-33. Compare Mr 12:18-27.


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

39. scribes . well said-enjoying His victory over the Sadducees.

they durst not-neither party, both for the time utterly foiled.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:39-47 The scribes commended the reply Christ made to the Sadducees about the resurrection, but they were silenced by a question concerning the Messiah. Christ, as God, was David's Lord; but Christ, as man, was David's son. The scribes would receive the severest judgement for defrauding the poor widows, and for their abuse of religion, particularly of prayer, which they used as a pretence for carrying on worldly and wicked plans. Dissembled piety is double sin. Then let us beg of God to keep us from pride, ambition, covetousness, and every evil thing; and to teach us to seek that honour which comes from him alone.


Mark 12:28 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
Luke 20:38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive."
Luke 20:40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
