Lucas 20:26

26 Y no podían sorprenderle en palabra alguna delante del pueblo; y maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.

Lucas 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.

Lucas 20:26 In-Context

24 Mostradme un denario . ¿De quién es la imagen y la inscripción que lleva? Y ellos le dijeron: Del César.

25 Entonces El les dijo: Pues dad al César lo que es del César, y a Dios lo que es de Dios.

26 Y no podían sorprenderle en palabra alguna delante del pueblo; y maravillados de su respuesta, callaron.

27 Y acercándose a El algunos de los saduceos (los que dicen que no hay resurrección), le preguntaron,

28 diciendo: Maestro, Moisés nos escribió: "SI EL HERMANO DE ALGUNO MUERE, teniendo MUJER, Y NO DEJA HIJOS, que SU HERMANO TOME LA MUJER Y LEVANTE DESCENDENCIA A SU HERMANO."
