Luca 20:26

26 Ed essi non poteron coglierlo in parole dinanzi al popolo; e maravigliati della sua risposta, si tacquero.

Luca 20:26 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:26

And they could not take hold of his words before the
people
Which was what they wanted; that if he had dropped any seditious and treasonable expressions against the government, they might be witnesses against him; or if he had not vindicated the liberties of the people, and the rights of the Jewish nation, these might be exasperated against him, and leave him:

and they marvelled at his answer;
which was so formed, as to give them no handle against him either way:

and held their peace;
they were silenced, and had nothing to say to him, nor against him, but left him, and went their way.

Luca 20:26 In-Context

24 Mostratemi un denaro; di chi porta l’effigie e l’iscrizione? Ed essi dissero: Di Cesare.

25 Ed egli a loro: Rendete dunque a Cesare quel ch’è di Cesare, e a Dio quel ch’è di Dio.

26 Ed essi non poteron coglierlo in parole dinanzi al popolo; e maravigliati della sua risposta, si tacquero.

27 Poi, accostatisi alcuni dei Sadducei, i quali negano che ci sia risurrezione, lo interrogarono, dicendo:

28 Maestro, Mosè ci ha scritto che se il fratello di uno muore avendo moglie ma senza figliuoli, il fratello ne prenda la moglie e susciti progenie a suo fratello.
