Luke 20:27

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. For the exposition, see the notes at Mark 12:13....

27-38 It is common for those who design to undermine any truth of God, to load it with difficulties. But we wrong ourselves, and wrong the truth of Christ, when we form our notions of the world of spirits by this world of sense. There are more worlds than one; a present visible world, and a future unseen world; and let every one compare this world and that world, and give the preference in his thoughts and cares to that which deserves them. Believers shall obtain the resurrection from the dead, that is the blessed resurrection. What shall be the happy state of the inhabitants of that world, we cannot express or conceive, 1 Corinthians 2:9. Those that are entered into the joy of their Lord, are entirely taken up therewith; when there is perfection of holiness there will be no occasion for preservatives from sin. And when God called himself the God of these patriarchs, he meant that he wa...

EXPOSITION LUKE 20:1 _Question of the priests and scribes as to the nature of the authority under which Jesus was acting._ LUKE 20:1, LUKE 20:2 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT ON ONE OF THOSE DAYS, AS HE TAUGHT THE PEOPLE IN THE TEMPLE, AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL. We are now in the midst of the so-called Passion week. Probably the events related in this chapter took place on the Tuesday. The first day of the week, Palm Sunday, was the day of the public entry into the city. The purification of the temple took place on the Monday, on which day also the barren fig tree was cursed. We are now considering the eve

Ver. 27 THEN CAME TO HIM CERTAIN OF THE SADDUCEES,.... That is, "to Jesus", as the Persic version expresses it; and it was the same day, as Matthew says, on which the disciples of the Pharisees, and the Herodians, had been with him, putting the question about tribute to him: Matthew 22:16 WHICH DENY THAT THERE IS ANY RESURRECTION; that is, of the dead; that there ever was any instance of it, or ever will be: this was the distinguishing tenet of that sect; see Acts 23:8 AND THEY ASKED HIM, the following question, after they had put a case to him....

LUKE 20:27 oi` @avnti#le,gontej {C} On the one hand, the external attestation for the reading oi` le,gontej is very strong, including, as it does, good representatives of the Alexandrian and the Western types of text. On the other hand, however, this reading may have arisen from scribal assimilation to the Matthean parallel ( Matthew 22:23); it is, furthermore, the easier reading, for it avoids the double negative involved in avntile,gontej … mh,. On the basis, therefore, of transcriptional probabilities the Committee preferred avntile,gontej, but out of deference to the ver...

The Question Concerning Resurrection. (Luke 20:27) 5. The Question Christ Asked. (Luke 20:41) 6. Beware of the Scribes! (Luke 20:45 .) The events in this chapter are found in both Matthew's and Mark's Gospels. The parable of the vineyard foretells His death. He is the so

THE QUESTION OF THE RESURRECTION LIFE (Mark 12:18 *, Matthew 22:23 *). The first peculiarity in Lk.'s account is Luke 20:34_ a_, the contrast between people in this world and those deemed worthy to attain the other world and the resurrection (which, as in Luke 14:14, seems limited to the righteous). In Luke 20:36 there is a further addition; in the other world men and women do not die, hence they need not (and so do not) marry. They are sons of the resurrection, _i.e._ have the characteristics of the risen and endless life. With...
