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 All seven brothers married her and died, and none of the brothers had any children. Finally the woman died too.

23 Since all seven brothers had married her, when people rise from the dead, whose wife will she be?"

24 Jesus answered, "Why don't you understand? Don't you know what the Scriptures say, and don't you know about the power of God?

25 When people rise from the dead, they will not marry, nor will they be given to someone to marry. They will be like the angels in heaven.

26 Surely you have read what God said about people rising from the dead. In the book in which Moses wrote about the burning bush, it says that God told Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
