Mark 12:24 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 12:24

And Jesus answering said unto them
Which they thought he was not able to do, but would have been silenced at once by them, as many of their antagonists had been:

do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither
the power of God?
what is expressed in Matthew affirmatively, is here put by way of interrogation, which, with the Jews, was a more vehement way of affirming; (See Gill on Matthew 22:29).

Mark 12:24 In-Context

22 and then to the rest: all seven brothers married the woman and died without having children. Last of all, the woman died.
23 Now, when all the dead rise to life on the day of resurrection, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had married her."
24 Jesus answered them, "How wrong you are! And do you know why? It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.
25 For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry.
26 Now, as for the dead being raised: haven't you ever read in the Book of Moses the passage about the burning bush? There it is written that God said to Moses, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
