24. Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures-regarding the future state.

neither the power of God?-before which a thousand such difficulties vanish.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:18-27 A right knowledge of the Scripture, as the fountain whence all revealed religion now flows, and the foundation on which it is built, is the best preservative against error. Christ put aside the objection of the Sadducees, who were the scoffing infidels of that day, by setting the doctrine of the future state in a true light. The relation between husband and wife, though appointed in the earthly paradise, will not be known in the heavenly one. It is no wonder if we confuse ourselves with foolish errors, when we form our ideas of the world of spirits by the affairs of this world of sense. It is absurd to think that the living God should be the portion and happiness of a man if he is for ever dead; and therefore it is certain that Abraham's soul exists and acts, though now for a time separate from the body. Those that deny the resurrection greatly err, and ought to be told so. Let us seek to pass through this dying world, with a joyful hope of eternal happiness, and of a glorious resurrection.


Mark 12:23 "In the resurrection, when they rise again, which one's wife will she be? For all seven had married her."
Mark 12:25 "For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. (NASB ©1995)

Alike Astray Cause Err Error Holy Ignorance Jesus Mistaken Power Reason Scriptures Understand Wrong

And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Do. As the five books of Moses were the only scriptures which the Sadducees admitted as Divine, our Lord confutes them by an appeal to these books, and proves that they were ignorant of those very writings which they professed to hold sacred. He not only rectified their opinions, but so explained the doctrine as to overthrow the erroneous decision of the Pharisees, that if two brothers married one woman, she should be restored at the resurrection to the first.

Isa 8:20 Jer 8:7-9 Ho 6:6 8:12 Mt 22:29 Joh 5:39 20:9 Ac 17:11 Ro 15:4 2Ti 3:15-17
