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 None of the seven brothers had any children. Last of all, the woman died.
23 When the dead come back to life, whose wife will she be? The seven brothers had married her."
24 Jesus said to them, "Aren't you mistaken because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power?
25 When the dead come back to life, they don't marry. Rather, they are like the angels in heaven.
26 Haven't you read in the book of Moses that the dead come back to life? It's in the passage about the bush, where God said, 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'
