Luc 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.

Luc 20:26 In-Context

24 Montrez-moi un denier. De qui a-t-il l'image et l'inscription? Ils répondirent: De César.

25 Et il leur dit: Rendez donc à César ce qui est à César, et à Dieu ce qui est à Dieu.

26 Et ils ne purent le surprendre dans ses paroles devant le peuple; mais, s'étonnant de sa réponse, ils se turent.

27 Alors quelques-uns d'entre les sadducéens, qui nient la résurrection, s'étant approchés, l'interrogèrent en disant:

28 Maître, Moïse nous a prescrit, que si le frère de quelqu'un est mort ayant une femme et qu'il soit mort sans enfants, son frère prenne sa femme et suscite lignée à son frère.
