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 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of all, the woman died too.
23 When the dead rise, whose wife will she be? All seven of them were married to her."
24 Jesus replied, "You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God.
25 When the dead rise, they won't get married. And their parents won't give them to be married. They will be like the angels in heaven.
26 "What about the dead rising? Haven't you read in the scroll of Moses the story of the bush? God said to Moses, 'I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.'(Exodus 3:6)
